Even before he finished his education, Angus started his career, as he founded Synaesthetic Software, and served as the CEO of the company, which only increased his net worth.
He then joined the University of Illinois at Chicago as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in the Electronic Visualization Laboratory, which not only added to his net worth, but his knowledge and experience were also increasing. During his years at the University, Angus was responsible for creating and teaching graduate courses in Information Visualization, Computer Graphics, and Deep Learning. He was also the first to start the dual-degree MS/MFA as a combined program in Computer Science and New Media Arts.
After several successful years, Angus was recruited by the University of California, Santa Cruz to serve as an Assistant Professor in the Computational Media Department. He is the leader of the UCSC Creative Coding department, and since joining has gained creative freedom to research novel techniques for visualizing and interacting with complex scientific information. Thanks to his success, his work can be seen in museums, galleries and festivals throughout the world, while his research has reached a number of top-tier journals, such as UIST< CSCW, NIME, EuroVIS, BMC Bioinformatics, among many others, which only added a considerable amount to his net worth. He is also the chair of the IEE VS Arts Program and is chosen as the Arts Papers chair for ACM SIGGRAPH for 2018.
Regarding his personal life, Angus tends to keep his most intimate details, such as marital status and number of children, hidden from the public eye, therefore, no reliable information is available in the media about him.
