Ferguson has more than 20 years of experience in enterprise application development—most in the mortgage industry—and is proficient in multiple technology stacks and development methodologies. In his new role, Ferguson will work closely with customers, partners, and internal stakeholders to help define the company's technology strategy and development roadmap.
