CASLS Software and Systems Engineer Carl Burnstein received this year’s University of Oregon’s Star Award. Each year, the Office of the President selects and recognizes employees who have made an exceptional, positive impact on the university. Those selected for the Star Award embody a spirit of collegiality and vision, working with partners across departmental lines.

Carl has been part of the CASLS team since 2010. He architects, programs, and maintains all of CASLS’ online tools and mobile applications, in addition to providing user support. Carl has designed and coded our popular mobile applications LingroToGo and LFO to Go, the companion application for LinguaFolio Online.

“Carl is always willing to jump in and solve challenges,” says CASLS Director Dr. Julie Sykes.

Because of his willingness to help and his experience leading national-level coding projects, Carl is the expert in mobile app development at the University of Oregon. Other departments on campus often call to request his input in feedback when working on mobile applications and working with the iOS App Store and Android’s Google Play. Thanks to Carl’s efforts, CASLS has been contributing to the open-source developer community by sharing code on GitHub.

As a recipient of the Star Award, Carl will be officially recognized at a UO home football game this fall, from a place of honor in the President’s suite. Congratulations, Carl!
