Comment: Only significant source is the PIE profile, but it's an interview so may not be reliable or independent (per WP:IV). Currently reads like a LinkedIn profile or resume, not a biography, and remains promotional in places. Numerous assertions lack inline citations from reliable independent secondary sources.
