Final Thoughts and Future Directions Index About the Author Born in Buenos Aires (la Ciudad de la Furia), Argentina, Leonardo Luis Lazzaro has always been fascinated by the idea of creating something out of nothing. His first contact with computers began at an early age, fueled by classic video games like Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island. By the age of 12, Leonardo was already running his own Bulletin Board System (BBS) using ProBoardBBS Software, making him one of the youngest participants in online communities in Argentina. The BBS allowed him to meet other tech enthusiasts who introduced him to the programming world. His fascination with computer demos from the demoscene became a strong motivation for his continued discovery in programming.
