I'm the principal author of GMP, the GNU multiple precision arithmetic library. GMP development is fun, since it combines maths with low-level programming. I earlier wrote GNU cp, split, and a couple of other command-line utilities, as well as the GNU superoptimizer. And I wrote the foundation and first implementations of GNU libc's memcpy, memmove, and associated functions. I am a long-term contributor to the GCC project, but now I only rarely contribute patches, and I stepped down from the GCC Steering Committee in early 2004.
