The team at digital asset firm Gemini is pleased to welcome Pravjit Tiwana as their new Chief Technology Officer.
Pravjit reportedly joins Gemini from Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he was working as the GM of Edge Services, which includes Amazon CloudFront, AWS Edge Computing, and AWS Data Transfer Operations.
Prior to 6+ years at AWS, Pravjit has “held product and engineering leadership roles at Microsoft and Disney.”
As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Gemini, Pravjit will be responsible for leading their engineering and product teams and will “draw upon his deep experience building world-class engineering cultures with a bias for action.”
He will help the company with scaling and delivering value to their clients with speed and reliability — so that they can “continue to unlock the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom with our simple, reliable, and secure products and services.”
In Pravjit’s own words, he decided to join Gemini because:
“I want to help build Web3 and the decentralized Metaverse. The promise is as big as the Internet itself and Gemini is well-positioned to help build and catalyze that future.”
If you’re interested in joining Pravjit and the Gemini mission, then you can review their Engineering openings on their official careers page – they’re hiring.
As reported recently, Gemini revealed on January 19, 2022 that they’re acquiring Omniex, a trading tech platform that offers order, execution, and portfolio management system solutions for institutional cryptocurrency trading.
As mentioned in a blog post, the acquisition enables Gemini to “publicly launch Gemini Prime, a crypto prime brokerage offering that has been supporting a select client base over the past year.” Following the full rollout of Gemini Prime in Q2 2022, the integration of Omniex with Gemini’s existing custody, clearing, and OTC trading capabilities “will simplify trading for institutional investors” by offering:
- A single point of access to multiple exchanges and OTC liquidity sources
- Sophisticated tools and algorithms to ensure best execution and trade transparency
- An institutional-grade trading experience with full API connectivity
