Does not meet GNG. First ref (a student profile) and third ref (crunchbase) are clearly not independent RS. The second ref (Time Business News) reads as highly promotional, likely just info provided by the subject. MB 03:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per WP:G11. The individual is clearly non-notable and is using the article as a means of promotion. The first ref (as of [1] this revision) shows that the individual is a chemistry grad student, but is used in a way to try to establish cybersecurity credentials. This is blatant advertising. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 03:53, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
