About Andrew Jaffee

I just recently solved two mission-critical bugs using generative AI chatbots by formulating customers' problem statements into formal sentence queries. Forty years as a full-stack developer and database architect has taught me to treat chatbots as AI assistants, not as glorified search engines. Beyond that, I'm writing freelance articles to evaluate the economy's effect on software companies and helping financial advisors understand emerging technologies like cloud computing, observability, and generative AI to make better investing decisions.I'm a focused and detail-oriented software and database architect offering exceptional troubleshooting skills and a talent for developing innovative solutions to unusual and complex problems. I led the project that put Florida's legislative information available to the public, making the Sunshine State the 2nd in the U.S. to go live. One of my solutions received FDA approval. With a partner, I built an enormously successful software boutique, becoming VP of Project Management, and then brokered a deal to sell our boutique to a much larger private software giant. I have a proven talent for bridging the communication gap between technical and non-technical people. I have proven my communication reach by publishing over 30 technical and non-technical articles in international, national, regional, and local journals. I am the founder and owner of microIT Infrastructure, LLC, operating profitably every year since its inception in 1999.I've excelled in creating innovative products, supporting mission-critical applications, and developing advanced technology products in healthcare, manufacturing, and content management. I have a unique ability to analyze complex user requirements, communicate with customers in English, and translate those requirements into robust, maintainable, and reusable algorithms and database schema, and finally implement viable programming language code and databases, especially in object-oriented languages like C# and protocol-oriented languages like Swift, and relational databases like SQL Server and Oracle, respectively.For much of the last 14 year years, I've been concentrating on Apple iOS mobile app and macOS X desktop development using Objective C, Swift, Xcode, and Adaptive Auto Layout, generally using Microsoft back-ends (web services, SQL Server databases, the .NET Framework, Visual Studio, C#). Previously, much of my work has been devoted to web-based application development with database back-ends (.NET Framework, Visual Studio, C#, SQL Server, Oracle).
