WordPress • iOS • Flutter • JavaScript

Hi, I’m Ethan Steigerwald

Frontend Web Developer & iOS Engineer with 10+ years shipping WordPress, JavaScript, Swift, and Flutter — for agencies, fintech platforms, tourism brands, and direct clients across the US. Slake is my fixed-price, no-surprises freelance practice: you know the exact cost and scope before a single line of code is written.

About Me

I started Slake in 2012 after watching too many businesses get burned by vague scopes, blown budgets, and developers who disappeared. My background spans agency work, fintech, federal contracting (building Swift iOS tools for the US Department of Veterans Affairs), and martech leadership — which means I can build the product and I understand how it fits into a real business. Every project I take on has a fixed price, a defined scope, and my name on it.

WordPress & PHP

Custom themes, plugins, REST API integrations, ACF, Elementor, and WooCommerce — from scratch or inherited codebases.

JavaScript & React

ES6+, TypeScript, React dashboards, headless WordPress frontends, and client-facing interactive apps.

Swift, iOS & Flutter

Native iOS in Swift and cross-platform Flutter builds — one codebase, iOS & Android. From Figma prototype to App Store launch.

Performance & Conversion

CRO audits, Core Web Vitals improvements, Hotjar & GA4 analysis — turning slow sites into revenue-generating ones.

Tech Stack

WordPress PHP JavaScript (ES6+) TypeScript React Swift / iOS Flutter HTML & Sass REST APIs WooCommerce Advanced Custom Fields Elementor Payment Gateways CRM Integrations Google Analytics & Hotjar Firebase GitLab & SonarQube

How I Work

  • Fixed-price engagements — No hourly billing surprises. You know the exact cost before I write a single line.
  • Transparent scope — I document exactly what will be fixed, improved, or built. No mystery deliverables.
  • Direct access — You work with me, not a junior handed your project.
  • 30-day warranty — If the same issue returns, I fix it free. Builds include post-launch support.
  • NDA on request — Your business data and codebase stay fully confidential.

Based in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area — available on-site, hybrid, or fully remote across the US.
