Mika Rebensburg

Founding ML Engineer @ Tabula (since Jan 2026)

Science-informed, developer-driven ML engineering.

From an ICLR 2025 workshop paper to 100k+ app downloads, I focus on machine learning that turns strong research into reliable product outcomes.

Current focus

How I approach work

Production ML Systems

I build model-driven features that need to run reliably in real workflows, from prototyping to rollout and monitoring.

LLM featuresDeployment qualityReproducible pipelines

Scientific Machine Learning

I have worked on generative methods for molecular and graph settings, combining theory with practical implementation.

Featured build

Library App (Android)

Library App interface from the legacy portfolio

I started this app to learn Android development and turned it into a long-running product with sustained usage. It remains one of my clearest examples of end-to-end product ownership.

  • Designed, developed, and maintained the app independently since 2018
  • Reached 100k+ downloads through organic user adoption
  • Supports cataloging, wishlist management, search, and lending workflows
  • A long-term end-to-end product project from feature ideation to production maintenance
