In the early 2010s, the engineering labs at the State University were a chaotic mix of hums, clicks, and the smell of ozone. Among the rows of bulky CRT monitors sat Leo, a third-year electronics student with a problem. The lab computers were notoriously locked down; installing any new software required a bureaucratic miracle, and the version of Proteus they ran was ancient, prone to crashing the moment you added a complex microcontroller to the schematic.
