About this session

Consultation Session
- Explore your background and discuss a personalized career growth strategy
- Share and receive feedback on product ideas, prototypes, or technical direction
- Dive into one-off topics: whether it's navigating a tough decision, refining a pitch, or anything else on your mind

As a hiring manager with deep experience in ML and Recommender Systems, I bring a practical, empathetic approach to mentoring. Whether you're an early-career engineer or a seasoned leader, I’ll tailor the session to your goals and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Your mentor

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.

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.”

She managed to prepare me for a behavioural and system design interview at a big tech company using just a few sessions (offer received!). She was very engaged in conversation, and her comments and advice were always exact and understandable. I would highly recommend Xun and hope to speak with her again later during my career development”

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a session?

A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 30 min of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from Xun's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.

How does the session take place?

Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.

Can I reschedule?
