About
Posted on 5 June 2025
Hi! I'm Giles Thomas, a founder and coder -- originally from the UK, but now living in Lisbon, Portugal. Right now, I’m diving deep into AI, sharing my experiments and thoughts on this blog. Dig into the archives, and you’ll find other fun stuff I've investigated over (checks calendar, blanches) nearly 20 years of posting.
I founded PythonAnywhere, a platform-as-a-service for Python developers, and sold it to Anaconda in 2022. After helping with the transition for a couple of years, I’m taking some downtime to recharge and ponder what’s next.
