Kemel Zaidan is a founder and technology strategist with 12 years of experience building product-led engineering teams and guiding cloud and AI initiatives from São Paulo. He leads Blastertech, a consultancy that blends software development, cloud implementation and product management to help organizations deliver measurable customer value. Previously he scaled consumer-facing platforms (+300% users in a year) as Product Lead and shaped cloud and edge strategy as Senior Product Manager at Embratel. A long-time Ubuntu community leader and technical writer, he champions open source as both a social good and a pragmatic corporate advantage. His background spans technical architecture, KPI-driven product decisions, developer advocacy and documentation—an unusual mix informed by formal studies in information systems, an MBA in IT and an earlier training in performing arts. That combination gives him a rare talent for translating complex technical trade-offs into clear business outcomes and narratives.
