Hiya!

I'm Aidan, and I'm based in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺. I have a hobby: researching interesting ways to use AWS and creating open source tools along the way. Sometimes they're even useful. Here's an idea of some of them:

• trackiam: monitoring for new AWS APIs every hour for a few years now
• ipv6-ghost-ship: "securing" access to EC2 via encoding TOTP into IPv6 addresses
• flowdog: a proof-of-concept for using AWS GWLBs to intercept and rewrite traffic inside AWS VPCs
• lambdaeip: achieve Internet access from VPC-attached Lambda functions without an expensive NAT gateway
• serverlessish: run regular web apps inside Lambda
• cloudkey: using Yubikeys to authenticate to AWS and removing the need for IAM users on-premises
• jwtex: a serverless OIDC IdP that can translate JWTs (e.g. from GitHub Actions) into a more AWS-friendly format with tags
• postinvoke: Run code in a Go function after Lambda has returned a response
• ... I think you get the idea.

I build these because I love scratching a personal itch and sharing the result with like-minded people. Realistically, I'm probably going to keep building them even if it never brings in a dollar. But your support would motivate me to keep on top of issues, feature requests and even fleshing out documentation. Plus I have some ideas for sponsor-only APIs and web services that I'd like to build.
