Erick Bamaca

I'm a frontend web developer based in Guatemala, passionate about building user-centric digital experiences that are inclusive, accessible, and built to last. With over 14 years in the industry, I've grown from a WordPress freelancer into a well-rounded developer and project contributor with experience across startups, established teams, and regulated tech environments.

My career has run on two parallel tracks — growing inside companies, including two startups and Xoom, a PayPal company, where the diverse cultures and pace pushed me to wear many hats, lead initiatives, and develop a natural sense of project ownership. Alongside that, I've maintained an active freelance practice building WordPress and HTML-based solutions for clients across different countries and industries — an experience that sharpened my communication, negotiation, planning, and delivery skills in equal measure.

As an accessibility advisor, I bring an inclusive-first mindset to every project, advocating for solutions that work for all users regardless of ability.

Over the years I've also grown into a project management role — not by title, but by necessity and passion. I understand how to scope work, align teams, manage expectations, and keep things moving — skills I'm now looking to bring into a more formal leadership or management position.

I'm currently open to full-time roles in project or product management, and available for freelance WordPress and HTML projects where I can deliver polished, accessible work from day one.
