Portfolio
My two most recent projects for Steeber Solutions are Project Gweihir and RMRK:DAO.
The static
site for Project Gweihir explains its function and links to a dApp that demonstrates the proof of principle:
providing the ability to bridge Kusama Data to the Ethereum blockchain via the Chainlink network using a
secure process.
RMRK:DAO was an experimental data-heavy dApp designed to facilitate the creation
of proposals for individual RMRK NFTs which could then be voted upon by the community; the backend has since
been spun down, but the frontend is still functional.
Testimonials
I had the pleasure of working with Keenan on two projects at the University of Washington’s Coding Boot Camp, including our final capstone project. His ability to tackle any problem and come up with solutions in an effective manner left me very impressed. He displayed great communication skills, effective critical thinking, and amazing UI talent. Outside of our time working on projects, I often reached out to him on a personal basis to exchange ideas and he never let me down. I can confidently recommend Keenan to any company and am sure that he will be asset to whoever hires him.

I met Keenan in April of 2022 I was truly impressed with his level of adaptability and how quickly he learned web3 development philosophy and the dApp paradigm. Not only that, but he was also able to create a robust, streamlined frontend to facilitate the dApp's myriad functionality. His synergy with the backend developer was excellent and he was able to conceptualize the entirety of the application which certainly played a role in his creation of an intuitive user experience. It was an honor to work with Keenan and I intend to work with him in future projects!
Adam Steeber
CTO of Steeber Solutions
Keenan is a man with many talents. Writing, editing, coding, animation, you name it. During my time as a student at University of Washington's Coding Bootcamp I had the pleasure of partnering with Keenan on the capstone project. His great personality, ability to learn on the spot and diversify himself truly contributed to how smooth our project came about. Even though our time at boot camp is over I cannot wait to start another project with Keenan with his inspiring dedication to code and curiosity. Whoever hires him is hiring a sure winner.

Keenan is an incredible person and a hardworking programmer. He has often taken it upon himself the task of learning and implementing a key technology for our Capstone project. He beautifully incorporated highly complex advanced React technologies. He has a keen sense for design and is a literary wizard. Keenan comes with a plethora of talents, but his most appreciated are his unwavering smile, gentle laugh, and encompassing kindness. He was a central pillar to the work that we've done during our Bootcamp. I highly recommend Keenan Reed for any company!

Keenan was our letterer (and welcomed editorial eye) for our comic project. He worked diligently to make suggestions and contributions that resulted in the improvement of the final product. As I work to develop the next project, there is no hesitation or doubt that I will be utilizing his creative services again. When assembling creative teams, I seek those with whom collaboration and discussion is effective and productive. Keenan is a proven asset and welcomed addition to any team I can assemble.
