No site would be complete without the token "about me" page, so here it is.

I'm Anthony Hoffman from Christchurch, New Zealand, where I work full-time as senior radio/electronics design engineer for the Custom Integration department of Tait Electronics. I also work part-time for Industrial Rigging Goleman Ltd as a telecommunications rigger.
Other part-time work includes Amiga computer hardware repair/technical support and private electronics tuition.

My fields of specialties include: digital and analogue circuit design, embedded system software design, conventional analogue and MPT1327 trunked radio communications network fault finding and maintenance, marine electrical engineering and remote DC power systems.

I've been using Amiga computers from 1996 through to today. My work with these machines ranges from hardware/software technical support through to surface mount component level repair. All of my private work is based upon Amiga systems, primarily an A4000T/060 which is also hosting this website.

Since the age of 10 I've had a deep interest in electronics so have gained a lot of self taught knowledge since then, in addition to over 15 years experience in the radio communications industry, plus various Polytechnic based training. Previously I lived in a small port town called Bluff where I ran my own part-time business working on the local fishing boat fleet. This marine electrical engineering work included complete electrical system design/install, alternator maintenance, custom electronic design & build plus electronic repairs. At the time I was simultaneously working full-time for a local communications company. The combination of work was varied and interesting but quickly grew to a demanding level. So when the opportunity arose to move up to a better career path with the internationally acclaimed Tait Electronics Ltd in 2001, the offer was too good to refuse. I've been there ever since, seems it was a good decision!

Outside of work I enjoy partying with friends, beer, acoustic guitar, tramping/hiking, mountain biking and most of all, snowboarding during Winter.

Work hard, play harder!
