Driving a transistor with XIAO

I’m looking for a very small Arduino type device for a project I’m working on. I’m currently using a Teensy 3.2 but just came across an article about the XIAO. Given it’s small package size I decided to buy one. It should arrive tomorrow.

I want to drive a transistor with one of the io pins. The transistor will ground a mosfet on another device. According to this article (https://web-engineering.info/node/82) the XIAO will only provide or sink about 2 Ma at 3.3v.

Has anyone done this and if so can you recommend a good resistor/transistor combination?

Thanks.

Update - after some frustration with a bipolar transistor I moved the project to a FQP30N06L MOSFET. It’s doing exactly what I want now.
