About

Professor by day.
Developer by nature.

I'm Ronald M. Marasigan, an IT faculty member and full-stack developer based in the Philippines. I hold a position at Mindoro State University's College of Computer Studies, where I teach web development, programming fundamentals, and software engineering to aspiring IT professionals.

Beyond the classroom, I actively develop real-world systems — enrollment platforms, attendance monitoring solutions, document management tools, and more. I'm also the creator of LavaLust, a lightweight PHP MVC framework I built and maintain on GitHub for developers who need CodeIgniter-style simplicity without the overhead.

LavaLust PHP
Framework

LavaLust is a lightweight PHP MVC framework I authored and actively maintain on GitHub. Built with CodeIgniter 3 conventions in mind, it gives developers a clean, familiar structure without the weight of modern full-stack frameworks.

It supports routing, models, views, controllers, database abstraction, session management, and a growing set of helpers — all designed to let developers focus on building, not configuring.
