I highly recommend Xun Tang as a mentor or collaborator in machine learning and technical interview preparation. While preparing for competitive FAANG interviews, Xun’s guidance significantly improved both my confidence and performance. From day one, Xun approached our sessions with exceptional structure and insight distilling complex topics ranging from modelling to system design into focused, interview-relevant content while simulating real interviews and offering precise, actionable feedback. Beyond technical skill, what stood out to me was Xun’s commitment to my success. They consistently went above and beyond, tailoring our sessions to my specific goals and weaknesses, and always bringing a thoughtful and encouraging presence. Their support gave me not just the knowledge I needed, but the confidence and mindset to succeed under pressure. I wholeheartedly recommend Xun Tang to any individual looking for a world-class ML mentor and coach. Their expertise and character are of the highest caliber.

Session: Consultation

I reached out to Xun for feedback on my current path into becoming a machine learning engineer and an outside opinion of my current experience. She left me valuable feedback and would definitely recommend.

I had unsuccessful interviews with big tech companies a few months before. I decided that I need some additional checks and advice for another opportunity with Meta. I had a recommendation about Xun from my former colleague and I have no doubts now that this collaboration was very helpful for me too. I had three calls with Xun, mostly for mock interviews (2 ML system design and 1 behavioural). She gives you very clear comments about things that you would never think of on your own. It could be something obvious or very thoughtful and deep, but it would be very helpful, and you would understand what you need to do to fix it. Xun was always very polite and easy to communicate with. As a result of this mentorship, I was able to pass the Meta bar for the SWE (ML) position. I really enjoyed working with Xun! Don't hesitate, this could be a turning point in your career!
