About Ken
Meet the engineer behind your results
I'm the technical half of Long Island Web Design, the person who makes sure everything we build doesn't just look the part but actually performs. I'm a full-stack software engineer, web developer, and AI engineer, and I've spent my career turning complicated technical problems into clean, profitable outcomes for business owners across Nassau and Suffolk County.
My approach is closer to a lab than a design studio. Before I touch a line of code or recommend a strategy, I take your business apart and study it: where your traffic comes from, where it leaks, how you stack up against competitors, and what your customers actually do once they land on your site. Then I rebuild around the data, with faster load times, stronger search visibility, and pages engineered to turn visitors into booked calls and sales.
I've built custom software, automation, and SEO systems from the ground up, and I've shipped my own applications to the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Amazon. That hands-on experience taking a product from idea to launch is exactly what I bring to every client: a builder's instinct for what it really takes to compete online and win.
I run Long Island Web Design (a Lead Marketing Strategies company) with my wife and business partner, Dominique Key. She owns the brand, creative, and relationships; I own the engineering, analytics, and search performance behind them. We're a family-owned company based in Commack, and the way our kids see us work is the same way our clients do: like it genuinely matters.
