About
A small team that builds and keeps building
Astria GK is the parent company behind our client services work and our own products. The same engineers do both, which is the point — building and running our own software is what keeps the client work honest.
Why we build our own products
Most software companies only ever hand work over. We wanted to know what it is like to live with our decisions — to carry the support load, pay for the hosting, and fix the thing we shipped eighteen months ago.
Krono² and Skolo are the result. Running them changes how we build for clients: we design for the version of the product that exists two years after launch, not just the one that passes a demo.
What we take on
Websites, online stores, Android and iOS apps, and custom applications built around a specific workflow. We also take over existing products — including ones we did not write — starting with an honest audit of what you are carrying.

Background
Where the experience comes from
Astria GK is young, but the people in it are not new to this. Before starting the company, our engineers spent years building and running production banking and enterprise applications — the kind with audit trails, release gates, and no tolerance for a bad deploy. That is the standard we build client work to.
JPMorgan Chase
Banking platforms — hands-on application development.
BMO (Bank of Montreal)
Banking platforms — hands-on application development.
Takeda
Enterprise systems for a regulated pharmaceutical environment.

How we operate
Four things we will not compromise on
We finish what we start
A handover is not a launch. We stay accountable through go-live and beyond, which is why maintenance is a service rather than an afterthought.
You own everything
Code, repositories, hosting, domains, and third-party accounts are yours. We do not use infrastructure access as leverage.
We say what we think
If a request will not work, or a cheaper approach would serve you better, you will hear it from us before the invoice, not after.
Direct access, no layers
You talk to the people writing the code. No account manager relaying requirements through a queue.
Process
What working with us looks like
- 01
Discover
We map the workflow, the users, and the constraints before proposing a solution. You get a written scope you can hold us to — not a vague estimate that moves later.
- 02
Design
Interface and architecture together. Screens are designed against the real data model, so what gets approved is what can actually be built.
- 03
Build
Delivered in working increments you can open and use. Weekly demos, a shared board, and direct access to the engineers doing the work.
- 04
Launch
Store submission, DNS, monitoring, analytics, and search setup handled. We treat performance and SEO as launch criteria rather than a follow-up ticket.
- 05
Maintain
Security patches, dependency upgrades, monitoring, and steady improvement. Most agencies stop at step four — this is the step that decides whether the product is still healthy a year from now.
