WHO I AM
My story, interests, and what drives me forward
My Story
I'm Harrison Keen, a student-athlete at Lehigh University studying within the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors Program. I compete as a Division I javelin thrower while pursuing my passion for solving complex problems at the intersection of finance, engineering, and technology.
This website is a collection of my work, thoughts, and interests; from academic research and technical projects to athletic achievements and photography. I built this because I wanted something that actually reflects myself, not another cookie-cutter portfolio.
My interests span a wide range: statistics, market structure, skiing, fashion, athletics, photography, and design. I'm constantly seeking opportunities to learn, build, and contribute to projects that challenge conventional thinking.
Feel free to explore. If you're recruiting either professionally or as a sports agency, my personal email is in my CV. Otherwise, just poke around, everything's here for a reason.

For Lehigh Students
Here are some courses I've personally enjoyed and found valuable during my time at Lehigh:
Blockchain and Concepts
CSB 242This class, taught by Professor Hank Korth, co-led with Kevin Worth, has been nothing short of what I imagined higher education to be like. Every day I look forward to attending this class, where we discuss ideas, connect Philosophy, Economics and Technology together in an open environment that fosters creativity and critical thinking.
IBE Freshman Seminar
IBE 150Taught by our beloved Professor Costa, IBE 150 is an incredible starting point for your education within the IBE program. The topics taught in this course are maybe not as technically difficult as other classes, but push you outside of your comfort zone and force you to think about situations in ways you may not have before.
Python for Finance
Fin377I was recommended this course by multiple industry professionals, and credit it — alongside Professor Bowen — as foundational to my technical skillset. The course covers the practical Python tools and workflows used day-to-day across the financial industry, and I directly attribute the skills I built here to my current understanding of the possibilities in this field.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions about any courses or the IBE program!
A Note on AI
I believe in transparency: this website was built with help from AI tools like Claude and Gemini. I view AI as a practical tool when it makes sense. I use it to improve processes and free up time for what matters: training, building things that interest me, and high-level problem-solving.
This approach reflects how I believe modern work should be done: leveraging the best tools available to maximize output and impact, then using that efficiency to focus on other aspects of life.
