Hi, I'm Tony Aldon

I'm a Python developer based in Spain, with a background in mathematics and music. I build API integrations, automation scripts, and developer tools.

My work so far has been through independent projects, open-source contributions, and technical education.

I'm looking to join an engineering team working on Python backend services, AI integrations, or developer tooling.

What I'm building¶

I'm currently building a coding agent for Emacs. My recent Python work includes CLIs and automation using the OpenAI API, alongside independent projects deployed on AWS.

I write about the implementation details: testing API integrations, handling errors, debugging unexpected behavior, and improving tools.

A few places to start:

Open source and teaching¶

Previously, I contributed Python tests and tooling to Bitcoin Core Lightning projects, including a JSON-RPC client and a plugin library.

I've also published around 170 coding tutorials covering Python, Emacs Lisp, and C, with a YouTube audience of more than 1,200 subscribers. I've presented projects at EmacsConf and PyConES, and published the course Build a ChatGPT Client in Emacs Lisp.

You can explore my open-source work, videos, and conference talks.

Working with AI¶

I write Working with AI, a newsletter about learning, thinking, and working with AI tools. It helps me reflect on using these tools, not just implementing them.
