Consulting services & open-source software.
Edge protection, security testing, and career intelligence platforms.

Embedded intelligence for API security and application defense. All detection and blocking decisions happen locally at the edge — zero external dependencies.

Synapse WAF — High-performance edge detection sensor built on Rust/Pingora. 237 WAF rules, 25 DLP patterns, campaign correlation, bot detection, behavioral analysis. Single binary, sub-10 microsecond detection latency at 72K req/s.

Signal Horizon — Multi-tenant fleet intelligence hub and SOC platform. Live threat map, campaign visualization, impossible travel detection, war room, and sensor management. Self-hosted or SaaS.

# Synapse WAF
docker run -p 6190:6190 -p 6191:6191 nickcrew/synapse-waf

# Signal Horizon
docker run -p 3100:3100 \

Open-source security testing suite — attack simulation, vulnerability research, and compliance assessment. Three tools, one platform.

Apparatus — Cybersecurity simulation lab built around a 13-protocol echo server. Multi-protocol traffic generation, deception, chaos engineering, and AI red team automation. Build, attack, and observe realistic environments.

Chimera — Intentionally vulnerable application with 450+ endpoints across 25+ industry verticals. 12 web apps representing real-world attack surfaces, plus an X-Ray inspector, guided exploit tours, WAF visualization, and LLM kill chain tracking.

Crucible — Attack simulation and compliance assessment engine with 120+ scenarios mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Composable scenario chains, adaptive AI testing, and automated reporting against NIST 800-53, CIS Controls, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.

# Apparatus
npm install -g @atlascrew/apparatus && apparatus

# Crucible
npm install -g @atlascrew/crucible && crucible start

# Chimera
pip install chimera-api && chimera-api --port 8880 --demo-mode full

All three are also available as Docker images: nickcrew/apparatus, nickcrew/crucible, nickcrew/chimera.

AI-powered career platform. Build a deep model of who you are professionally, then let it find the right jobs, assemble targeted materials, and prep for interviews. The system gets smarter with every interaction.

The Loop — Research → Pipeline → Build → Letters → Prep. Five workspaces that feed each other: AI-inferred job search, opportunity tracking, targeted resume generation, cover letters from pipeline context, and interview prep decks. Results feed back into Research to improve targeting.

Separate from the security suite, same engineering principles. Hosted or self-hosted.

# Hosted (free tier available)
open https://demo.myfacets.cv

# Self-host
git clone https://github.com/atlas-crew/Facet
cd Facet && docker compose up

Atlas Crew is the name the work above is published under. Available for SDLC modernization, platform engineering, AI integration, and developer experience work.
