HPA

I am H. Peter Anvin, I am a Linux kernel developer and CPU architect, I work for Intel. In addition to computers, I enjoy deep-diving into mathematics, physics, and linguistics. I also enjoy amateur acting. I ended up creating the de facto Unicode encoding standard for the Klingon pIqaD writing system; unfortunately the Unicode consortium declined including it as a de jure standard when proposed.
