Summary
Nick Pope is an independent contractor and software engineer with 10 years of experience combining scientific instrumentation and software development, particularly C# and Visual Basic for GIS and environmental modeling tools. He supports the US EPA's D4EM project and administers iemhub.org, bridging domain science and practical tooling for geo-spatial data workflows. His background in applied and engineering physics (MS) and hands-on lab work—ion traps, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, vacuum systems, and ion optics—gives him rare expertise in both firmware/hardware and higher-level application code. Comfortable across languages from Assembly and C to Python and LabVIEW, he also designs and troubleshoots analog/digital circuits, microcontrollers, FPGAs, and NI DAQ systems. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex experimental requirements into maintainable software and reproducible instrumentation setups.
