Welcome to AndrewKrause.net

I am a software developer from Fairfax, VA. If you are here to see my resume, then ignore the rest of this ramble and proceed. If you are still reading, then sit back, relax, and feel free to fall asleep!


This web site has gone through many revisions, mostly surrounding a blog. However, I learned from many attempts that I do not have the motivation to maintain a blog. So, the question remained, what to do with this corner of the web that I own?


Besides a place for my resume, I decided to dedicate my personal web page to my projects. Many of these are related to geeky engineering projects that I have done over the past few years. For example:

  • Foundations of GTK+ Development is a 630 page brick about developing GTK+ applications. It was published in May 2007, and based upon GTK+ version 2.10. While catered to the Linux operating system, the book can be used to learn about GTK+ development for Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Mac OS X. Learn More »

  • The animated Penn State LED bottle cap board was a project by myself and Jonathan Mitchell. It consists of 405 bottle caps, 166 LEDs, hours of drinking, and hours of work. Watch the Video »

  • While not yet completed, this project aims to create a coffee table that is a working Super Nintendo controller. It will have Super Mario Brothers murals along the sides, use proximity sensors for buttons, and have a SNES system embedded in it. Check My Progress »

On occasion, people have the desire for some reason to say something to me. While I always prefer face-to-face communication, feel free to use the contact form if that is not an option.
