PASE (Peoples Associates Structural Engineers)
PASE (Peoples Associates Structural Engineers) is a San Jose-based structural and seismic engineering consultancy founded in 1990. Ranked among the largest engineering firms in Silicon Valley, PASE designs the bones of buildings that have to stay standing - hyperscale data centers for Meta and Vantage, multifamily and mixed-use communities, commercial and institutional projects, plus seismic retrofits and non-structural anchorage. With roughly 69 staff and 250+ years of combined experience across offices in California, Maryland and Croatia, the firm pairs heavy engineering rigor with a collaboration-first culture it calls 'The PASE Way.'

Azlan Ezaddin is the President and CEO of PASE (Peoples Associates Structural Engineers), a Silicon Valley structural engineering firm he has led for 35 years. A licensed Structural Engineer in six U.S. states with P.E. credentials across 28 states and four Canadian provinces, Ezaddin holds a Master's degree from Stanford University and is widely regarded as a foremost authority on mission-critical data center structural design - having engineered facilities for Meta across three continents. In a striking contrast to load-bearing calculations, he co-founded CriticalDance in 1999, an international nonprofit arts publication, and writes about ballet with the same analytical precision he brings to seismic codes.
