The constraint is the brief
Budgets, deadlines, and old browsers are not obstacles to the design — they are the design.
( The studio )
One engineer. In it for the years.
SkyAstrall is run by Gagan Raj Bojja — founder, principal engineer, and the person who answers your email. This page is his flight record.
( Flight record — the short version )
- 2019
First order, on Fiverr
One freelance order. Then another. Desktop apps first, then Python scripts and custom automations — each project a step bigger than the last.
- 2021
The work moves to the web
Websites, then full web applications, and in time mobile apps. One pattern keeps surfacing: everything breaks after handoff, unless someone stays.
- 2024
SkyAstrall registered
October 2024. The pattern becomes the pitch: design, engineer, and stay in orbit. Support is the product, not the fine print.
- 2025
Open source in the wild
@skyastrall/mentions ships on npm — code with our name on it, reviewable by anyone.
- Now
Fifty-plus shipped, systems in orbit
More than fifty projects delivered since 2019. The platforms in orbit today — clinics, a school, a coaching practice — all have the same engineer on call.
That is the short version on purpose. The long one — every project, experiment, and detour since the beginning — lives at the founder's portfolio ↗.
( Operating principles )
Working software weekly
You click a build every week from week three. Slideware is not progress.
Measured, then promised
Performance, accessibility, and uptime are numbers in the contract, not adjectives on the homepage.
Stay in orbit
The engagement is designed around year two, not launch day. Someone has to stay. We do.
