About
I help software engineers move into ML and AI engineering and build the judgment to turn business problems into reliable AI systems. Whether you're preparing for interviews, taking on an AI project, or growing as a technical leader, I can help you identify what to learn and apply it to real work.
I'm Head of AI at Clifton, where I built the AI team, production AI systems, and the company's coding-agent pipeline. At Snapchat, I led work on LLMs, embedding-based retrieval for search and recommendations, and query understanding. Previously, I was tech lead for LinkedIn's Hirer AI team. We built AI solutions for LinkedIn Talent Solutions products that generated over half of LinkedIn's revenue, and I drove double-digit improvements in key business metrics.
I hold a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, with research spanning machine learning and optimization. I've filed seven US patents in machine learning and published 12 papers, with one best paper award, two best paper nominations, and over 600 citations.
I've mentored engineers through internal transitions from software engineering to machine learning and helped people navigate career changes and AI/ML interview preparation. My mentoring connects the foundations to practical work: problem framing, system design, evaluation, error analysis, and the trade-offs involved in shipping and improving a system.
We'll start with your goal and the specific obstacle you're facing. Through hands-on work and direct feedback, my aim is to help you understand why an approach works, recognize when it doesn't, and make better decisions independently. I particularly enjoy helping engineers connect research, engineering, and business needs.
What happens when you start
You tell Wenxiang your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Wenxiang reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.
You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
