I'm Shedrack Godstime, based in Abuja, Nigeria. Most of my work sits at the intersection of security research and low-level systems. I focus on understanding how software, networks, and operating systems operate under the hood, and finding where they fail.

While cybersecurity is my core focus, I spend a lot of time digging into the layers beneath it: Linux internals, networking protocols, systems programming in Rust, and embedded hardware.

I learn best by building and testing things directly. Not every exploration turns into a full release; many stay as focused security labs, experimental tools, or technical notes. The Workbench is where I keep that record.
