I earned a BS in Computer Science from Eastern Washington University.

I've shared the source code for a few of my projects at jonathancollins on github.

I occasionally tweet about PHP at @seaPHP.

My personal hobbies include researching structured and semantic wikis, learning about accessibility and security, hacking and contributing to open source software, and pondering secure election technology.

Pollable extension for Doctrine 1.2

I designed and developed a polling and data collection API for the 1.2 version of the Doctrine ORM.

The project has extensive unit tests and some basic documentation to communicate the intended usage of the API. With the release of Doctrine 2 just around the corner, however, I didn't take the project beyond alpha stage. I hope to revisit the idea using the heavily redesigned Doctrine 2 API.
