Welcome to my side projects page, where I’ve open-sourced a collection of tools and projects that I’ve built over the years.

With a focus on the AWS ecosystem, these projects have been a way for me to learn and explore new technologies.

While they were created with my specific use-cases in mind, I hope they can be helpful to others as well.

If you have any ideas or feature requests, feel free to open an issue on GitHub or contribute to the project. Thanks for checking them out!

AWS Cost and Waste Awareness Platform

unusd.cloud is a waste and cost awareness platform for tackling your unused and costly AWS assets. With our product, you can easily identify and eliminate unwanted costs on your AWS bills.

Are you tired of mistakenly leaving cloud assets active at night, during the weekend, or even worse, forever? This not only generates unwanted costs on your bills, but it also unnecessarily extends your attack surface and impacts your carbon footprint.

unusd.cloud is here to help. We scan all of your AWS accounts across all regions to identify and report on any costly assets that have been mistakenly left active. Our scheduled digest report provides actionable cost-saving solutions for you and your team.
