About Tim Hamilton

I started as a programmer with a simple belief: understand the problem completely, then build the right thing. Twenty-five years later, that instinct runs through everything we do at Praxent.Praxent is an AI-native digital engineering firm for financial services. We exist for one specific problem: financial services companies whose software and systems have fallen behind. Not just \"needs a refresh\" behind. Structurally limited, competitively exposed, falling-apart behind.These organizations don\'t just want to catch up. They want to lead again. That\'s exactly what we\'re built for.Three things most firms can\'t offer:1⃣ Deep FS expertise, proven at scale. We focus exclusively on financial services and have 100 referenceable case studies. Where most firms have one or two examples per use case, we typically have five or six.2⃣ AI-native agentic engineering. We work in close collaboration with Anthropic, applying Claude across the full development lifecycle. We\'ve built agentic workflows into how we operate — autonomous systems handling research, code generation, review, and validation — compressing timelines in ways that weren\'t possible before.3⃣ Human judgment where it matters most. We lead every engagement with expert judgment on design, architecture, and where AI should and shouldn\'t be trusted.Results:→ NEWITY became the #1 SBA lender in the U.S. on systems we built together→ NRG generated $80M in revenue within eight months of launch→ Amherst Holdings brought $1B in homes to market on a platform we built→ Houston put its $4B budget online, saving $40M per yearIf you\'re running on systems built for a different era and ready to lead again — I\'d like to talk.
