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!
💸 unusd.cloud
You know that feeling when you forget to turn off your AWS resources and get hit with a huge bill? Yeah, that’s what I built unusd.cloud to solve. A SaaS that automatically finds all the stuff you’re paying for but not using - those forgotten EC2 instances, unused EBS volumes, and idle RDS databases that are just burning money.
It scans your entire AWS setup and sends you weekly reports with actionable insights to cut costs. Think of it as your personal AWS waste detective that saves you money while reducing your security footprint and carbon impact.

🎯 KYE (Know Your Enemies)
Ever wondered who actually has access to your AWS account? KYE is a security analysis tool that digs into your IAM role trust policies and S3 bucket policies to reveal exactly which third-party vendors and external AWS accounts can access your resources. It compares findings against a database of known vendor accounts and flags potential security risks like missing ExternalId conditions that could lead to confused deputy attacks.

🔍 AWS Subnet-Watcher
AWS does not provide any CloudWatch (CW) metrics to monitor available IPs in VPC subnets. It can be difficult to avoid shortages and get alerted when you are approaching the limit. This project aims to solve this problem by giving you metrics and alerting.
