ABOUT SABA FATEMI
As a highly motivated and experienced Energy Engineer, I am continually seeking opportunities to apply my skills to optimize building energy use, reduce environmental impact, and actively combat climate change and global warming.With a deep passion for sustainability and environmental stewardship, I specialize in minimizing the carbon footprint of buildings; particularly large, energy-intensive facilities like data centers through computer simulation, modeling, and data-driven analysis.I integrate cloud-based tools and emerging technologies to improve efficiency and scalability, including platforms like AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for energy data analytics and workflow automation.As an environmentalist and forward-thinker, I believe the choices we make today shape the future we leave behind. My mission is to help design smarter, more efficient buildings that contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world for generations to come.Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply inspired by the big picture: the future of humanity, the preservation of our planet, and the advancement of civilizations. Influenced by thinkers like Michio Kaku and driven by a lifelong curiosity about space, science, and the potential of human progress, I see sustainability not just as a responsibility; but as a stepping stone toward a future where humanity thrives in harmony with its environment, on Earth and beyond.Technical Skills- Data Analysis: Proficient in statistical analysis utilizing Excel and advanced programming languages such as Python- Building Performance Simulation: Expertise in building energy modeling, daylighting simulation, electrical lighting simulations, and model calibration- Design & Optimization: Adept in climate-responsive design, facade design, parametric optimization, and HVAC systems- Project Management: Experienced in leading interdisciplinary teams and managing sustainability projects from planning through execution- Cloud & Automation: Familiar with AWS and GCP tools for sustainability analytics and scalable solution deployment- Carbon Accounting: Knowledgeable in GHG Protocol methodologies and emissions tracking strategies- Rating Systems: Comprehensive knowledge in LEED, California Title-24, and WELL certification processes.Software- Modeling & Design: IES-VE, eQuest, EnergyPlus, CBECC-Com, DIVA for Rhino, AGi-32, Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp- Analysis & Optimization: Python, R, MATLAB, Excel, SAS- Cloud & Project Tools: AWS, GCP, Trello, Asana- Graphics & Presentation: Adobe Suite
