As the mastermind behind Promontory MortgagePath's cloud infrastructure blueprint, McCall has developed a talent for matching data architecture to unique mortgage-industry problems and incorporating self-service data insights into mortgage operations. In addition to many of his back-end development contributions, McCall led the team responsible for creating Promontory MortgagePath's point-of-sale technology Borrower Wallet®, as well as developing the company's proprietary data collection tools Perfected Qualifying Data® and IncomeAI®. Thanks to his efforts, Promontory MortgagePath has grown from a start-up to more than 200+ employees servicing multiple customers in just a few short years. At Promontory MortgagePath, McCall has been able to channel over 20 years of industry experience into efforts that have helped clients achieve, on average, a 75% increase in the number of loan applications taken per month, with month-over-month increases reaching as high as 255%.
