CASLS Educational Software Developer Carl Burnstein began working for CASLS as a student employee in 2010. At that time, he helped with maintaining computer hardware maintenance, troubleshooting, coding LinguaFolio Online, and setting up a WordPress site for CASLS professional development program.

Carl has since grown to become an integral employee at CASLS. His project scope has developed to include all of CASLS' technology-related projects, including rewriting the InterCom website and email service, creating multiple mobile applications for language learning, updating LinguaFolio Online and its mobile application LFO To Go. Carl also supervises a student worker who assists him.

"LinguaFolio Online and LFO To Go have been my favorite projects to work on, because they were my first big steps into working as a major part of one of our biggest projects. I've also really been enjoying working on a mobile application for students living at the University of Oregon residence halls because I get to work with iOS and Xcode, which are some of my favorite tools to use," says Carl. He enjoys every aspect of working at CASLS, especially the people and the work culture.

When he's not working on CASLS projects, Carl shares, "I like to spend time with my girlfriend and my dog going outdoors for a hike or to the park to play with other dogs." If he could go anywhere in the universe, Carl would visit outer space one day, which might include a stop to the International Space Station or a destination further out among the planets!
