IRVINE, Calif., July 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudvirga, the leading provider of intelligent point-of-sale (POS) mortgage technology, today announced the appointment of Daniel Akiva as Chief Technology Officer.

Akiva joins Cloudvirga from loanDepot, where he was the senior vice president of consumer lending technology. There, he provided architectural vision and guidance, which led to the adoption of a microservice-based strategy and the release of the first loanDepot mobile app and enterprise CRM.
Previously, Akiva was a co-founder and CTO of HomDNA and held senior leadership positions at Rapid7 and Borland. Akiva received his B.S. in computer science from the University of Southern California.
“Today’s loan officers need a time-saving solution that helps them structure more deals, at a lower cost, in less time,” said Akiva. “Cloudvirga offers a dynamic platform and intuitive user experience that sets a new standard for mortgage technology in the digital age.
