Optimal SMS • 2012 - 2013

Optimal SMS is a system that tracks the behavior of sales reps in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceuticals, being highly federally regulated, must adhere to strict mandates. Optimal SMS analyzes dozens of thousands of records a month to find and flag compliancy issues among the sales rep workforce. Once flagged, issues are then managed and either resolved or reported to the government. Initially I was brought on with Optimal SMS to audit their system and perform a code review. Eventually I led the complete rearchitecting and successful implementation of an entirely new system.
