Hands-on support
Machine Learning practitioner with 10+ years of experience scaling data systems at top-tier Silicon Valley companies. I’ve led impactful projects across Machine Learning, Recommender Systems, and large-scale infrastructure, and have been a people manager for over seven years. I actively interview ML Engineers and Engineering Managers, giving me a sharp lens into what top companies look for.
I’m happy to support you with:
- Resume reviews
- Mock interviews: system design, ML design, behavioral, project deep dive, and Engineering Manager interview
- Presentation rehearsals
- Role-playing critical conversations (e.g., asking for a raise or promotion)
- Career transitions: into management or into Machine Learning
- Career growth topics that matter to you (e.g., goal setting, project planning)
- Deep dives into ML technical topics of interest
Whether you're preparing for your next big opportunity or navigating a career pivot, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Xun is an exceptional mentor who knows exactly what it takes to reach the Staff level. Before working with her, I felt stuck and unsure of how to bridge the gap to the next stage of my career. Xun provided the critical insights I needed to unblock myself and, more importantly, the conviction that I could actually get there. Her feedback is incredibly specific, grounded in her deep experience as an ML Engineering Manager who has successfully coached her own engineers to Staff. She helped me demystify what "Staff-level impact" looks like and turned our high-level strategy sessions into a concrete action plan that I’ve already begun executing with my manager. If you’re looking for a mentor who balances big-picture vision with practical "next steps," Xun is the person you want in your corner.

Thanks, Xun! My mentorship with Xun was great. The feedback I got from the ML design, modeling, and behavioral was actionable and helpful. The bulk of my sessions were in ML and I found them really helpful in what interviewers were looking for. I would highly recommend Xun if you’re looking to interview prep!

Xun is super valuable to anyone who wants to navigate their career or prepare for interviews. We had a few sessions to mock behavioral and deep dive interviews and I came out of it full with actionable actions for improvement and confident that I can translate it to success. Highly recommended coach!
