Hi, I'm Calvin Kinateder.
Software Engineer
I'm a software engineer focused on building applications that are perfectly designed from the inside out. No matter what I'm working on, my vision is for an equal focus on both the developer and the user. I received my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Cincinnati in 2025.

Master's Thesis
A Novel Approach To Implementing Knowledge Distillation In Tsetlin Machines
Abstract
We introduce a novel knowledge distillation approach for Tsetlin Machines that probabilistically selects the most important clauses from a larger teacher model and transfers them to a smaller student. This method significantly improves student accuracy without increasing latency, as demonstrated on image recognition and text classification tasks.
