I have developed software for a wide range of mass spectrometer systems. I spent ten years working for VG Instruments (then Fisons Instruments) and three years in Japan looking after software support and localisation. I worked mainly on software for inorganic and elemental analysis using TIMS, Stable Isotope, Quadrupole ICP-MS and Sector ICP-MS.
More recently I work as a independent consultant to scientific instrument manufacturers developing bespoke software for data analysis, instrument control and hardware interfacing. I have done a fair amount of work enhancing a package of MALDI/TOF software and more recently on Laser Ablation data analysis for ICP-MS.
Here are several independent resources on the Internet of interest to MS
