Abstract Magnitude is a USA-based software engineering firm led by Alex Stevovich, delivering modern systems architecture and technical direction. The firm specializes in first-principles engineering, with a focus on proprietary solutions for products and creative force multipliers.

First-Principles Engineering

A guiding specialization of this operation is first-principles engineering: building systems from the ground up and owning the complete stack end to end. This applies both per project and to a collection of components to solve reoccuring problems precisely. This approach is unorthodox in modern development, which often favors configuring of general frameworks over writing logic, but many systems benefit profoundly from a back-to-basics methodology.

Architecture

Systems

I engineer full-scale systems, with over 12 million total distributions worldwide across proprietary software. My experience emphasizes scalability, power, and architectural clarity.

Data

I architect data systems and models with a focus on structural accuracy and stability under growth, and flexibility across uncertain or evolving requirements.

Web

I approach the web as an architectural system, engineering clean and performant database and full stack solutions. I author a suite of modern tools that power my web-based work.

Technical Direction

I provide technical direction and architectural oversight for complex projects. This involves long-term planning to ensure coherence, and effective execution.

Deployment

Creative Tools

I make creative force multipliers. Programs and pipeline tooling that improve art generation and production efficiency, enables new visual effects, and unlocks new potentials that require direct technical intervention beyond standard software workflows.

Modern Ecosystems

I maintain a broad ecosystem of public and proprietary software packages across multiple languages, providing when possible my in house tooling, and library of canonical atomics and components that support my work.

Solutions

Proprietary software solutions are the core of my pracftice, with my back-to-basics approach for flexible, efficient systems that push beyond conventional implementation limits, to empower personal industrialization of productivity and power.

Data Systems

I design and deploy data architectures for a wide range of needs, including account systems, scientific datasets, game databases, and artist legacy archives.

Cryptographic Theory

Conceptual cryptography in idea space and large-number domains is a primary focus of my work, specifically personal security, human memory limtations, and novel forms of magnitude-based data compression.

Meta Theory

I research how the logic of programming and structures of data can give insights into the nature of reality and conciousness.

Operations

I am a USA-based systems architect working from first-principles engineering, offering an unorthodox but considered vantage point. I bring deep experience across multiple paradigms of modern development, supported by a broader polymath skill set that reveals overlooked connections and unlocks new potential. While always available for direction or collaboration, my primary work focuses on proprietary development in service of the production, presentation, and organization of my creative endeavors.

Human Forever

Much of modern enterprise technology is built at the expense of meaning and agency, flattening both end users and developers into passive surfaces of consumption and compliance. I treat engineering as a force multiplier for freedom, individualism, and innovation—attuned to the practical realities of the human spirit and aimed at unlocking its limitless potential.

Director

I’m locked in, programming right on the metal. Come with me as I eliminate all problems, each with a single indirection. I no longer need a SaaS to run scripts for me — I am the continuous integration.”
