The friendly nerd from Germany

Hello and What's up from Germany!

Hey everyone, my name is Norman and I'm a 27 year old software developer from Münster, Germany. I'm the left lad in the upper picture - appreciation is very much accepted! The right guy on the picture is not my lover, he is just one of my best buds and I loved the bromance of the picture. As a nerd I rarely like to be on pictures. Feel free to judge me on that!

I pretty much love football, NBA, German cars, technologies, beer and time-travelling. So future me, comment below if time-travelling is a thing.

Right now I'm writing on my mastersthesis before starting to work for a German research institute. I will try to post stuff about new technologies, coding and probably about blockchain opportunities. I've personally involved on smaller blockchain projects and do fully understand the technical background of blockchains.

I've published several papers about smart metering, smart grids and plc standards. So I might write a blog about the upcomming smart meter rollout and the advantages and disadvantages of green energy. I also published a paper about the possibility of hacking bitcoin addresses, but I can tell you - if you use a new bitcoin address for each transaction you are good to go!

In my free time I like to play CSGO with friends, read or hang out and have a beer. I also like to travel and had interships in the US, London and Madrid.

So feel free to follow me @belike or ask me about anything related to computer science. Hit me up and enjoy the weekend! Here is a stupid cat to save the day!
