Developing Backend Pipelines for Comporium’s Sales System
During my time at Orange Bees, I collaborated with Comporium, a telecommunications provider in the Southeast, to enhance their internal sales tools. My primary responsibility was to design and maintain a suite of Java microservices that streamlined their sales pipelines for telephone, internet, TV, and security services. This project aimed to simplify a complex system, improving efficiency for sales representatives while ensuring robust performance and security.
Project Scope and Challenges
Comporium’s existing sales system was extensive, with a single cart object containing thousands of fields. My task was to refactor and optimize the backend to support critical functions such as document generation, payment processing, and user account management. The objective was to create a seamless experience for sales reps, enabling them to manage orders efficiently across Comporium’s diverse product offerings.

Technical Solutions
- Microservices Architecture: I implemented a modular approach using Java microservices, each handling specific aspects of the sales pipeline. This allowed for better scalability and easier maintenance.
- Data Optimization: By restructuring the cart object and reducing unnecessary fields, I improved data handling and processing times.
- Integration and Security: The pipelines were integrated with Comporium’s existing systems, ensuring secure transactions and compliance with industry standards.
Impact and Reflection
This project was particularly rewarding as it directly contributed to improving Comporium’s operational efficiency. By transforming a complex system into a more manageable and user-friendly backend, the sales team could process orders more effectively, ultimately benefiting their customers. The experience reinforced the value of thoughtful backend design in supporting front-end usability.
