I enjoy ruining video games, or talking about history in them. Sometimes both.

I occasionally stream, and usually on YouTube. I don't really like Twitch.

I have a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Chicago, and an MA and MSc in international history from Columbia University and the London School of Economics. I've presented conference papers on Europa Universalis, the Hanseatic League, 19th-century Japanese political transition, British and American empire in East Asia in the early 20th century, and probably more.
