Projects

Things I’m building and maintaining. Most of this happened in early 2026 after a long stretch of not shipping my own code. The backstory is here.


Awesome Foundation

An open-source collection of AWS tools and infrastructure I build and maintain. Everything lives under github.com/awesome-foundation.

The centerpiece is core-infrastructure — a layered, CloudFormation-based AWS setup covering VPC and networking, ECS compute with HAProxy sidecars, Cloudflare-synced security groups, SSH bastion access, and SSO identity management. Three environments, CI/CD via GitHub Actions and OIDC, deployed with Rain. It’s the full stack I run under rmBug and my own projects, open-sourced as a reference for how to wire this stuff up without ClickOps.

The standalone tools:

  • cfntop — Live TUI monitor for CloudFormation stacks. Auto-refreshes, prioritizes active deployments, shows ECS service details and event history. Built because I was tired of refreshing the AWS console during deploys.

  • cfnpeek — Read-only CLI for inspecting CloudFormation stack resources, outputs, exports, and events. Quick lookups without opening the console.

  • aws-config-d — Manage multiple AWS SSO organizations with separate config files. If you work across several AWS orgs, you know the pain of one monolithic ~/.aws/config. This splits it into per-org files and merges them.
