I am a Ph.D. candidate in the history department at Johns Hopkins University, specializing in the social and military history of eighteenth-century France. My dissertation project deals with foreigners in the service of the French army under the Old Regime, the First Republic and the First Empire.

I am also interested in free/open-source software, particularly Ubuntu GNU/Linux and related projects. I cover Ubuntu and open-source for Nine Lives Media.

I received a B.A. in history and French from Cornell University in May 2008.
