After retiring as a professional dancer, he has choreographed and directed dance films that have shown in festivals around the world; directed multicam dance livestreams for the National Ballet of Canada, Nuit Blanche, and others; and created several live performance works including Jacqueries, an immersive on-location parkour heist which was awarded the Vanguard Prize for Risk and Innovation at SummerWorks 2014. He frequently collaborates with dance and theatre artists as a sort of technological dramaturg, and has created web- and app-based experiences with TIFF, Peggy Baker Dance Projects, Soundstreams, adelheid, and others. As a commercial software developer, he worked most recently with Shopify, and has an extensive agency background working on everything from boutique microsites to the ecommerce sites of major brands.
