Bonjour Sush !
Personne always refers to a person (no one, nobody) whereas aucun/e can refer to any noun that has been previously mentioned (none / no [noun]) :)
Bonne journée !

Bonjour Sush,
«personne n'est venu» translates to no one came, on the other hand
«aucun n'est venu» translates to none came
I get the sense from the nuance difference, the answer would like in the contextual scenario of the two phrases.
Bonne chance,
