About Me
A passionate software engineer with expertise in quality automation & DevOps
Hello, I'm Syed Sayem
A Software Engineer based in New York with over 15 years of experience in automated testing, DevOps, and quality engineering.
My career has been driven by a passion for building robust, scalable test automation frameworks and streamlining CI/CD pipelines that empower engineering teams to ship high-quality software faster and more reliably.
Core Strengths
Test Automation
Expert in building robust, maintainable test automation frameworks for web, mobile, API and desktop applications
DevOps Engineering
Experienced in implementing CI/CD pipelines, containerization strategies, and cloud infrastructure automation
AI/LLM Evaluation
Specializing in testing and evaluating AI-powered systems using LangChain, RAGAS, and TruLens frameworks
Technical Leadership
Proven track record of mentoring QA teams and implementing best practices across engineering organizations
Professional Background
Companies I've Worked With
Certifications
- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator
- Certified Scrum Master
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with industry leaders like WeWork, Namely, Booker Software, and most recently Millennium, where I led QA and automation efforts for complex, enterprise-grade applications across web, mobile, desktop, and APIs.
My technical toolkit spans Java, Python, Node.js, and Go, with deep expertise in tools like Selenium, Appium, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern frameworks such as LangChain, RAGAS, and TruLens. I'm especially proud of developing Raptor — a declarative, AI-powered automation framework that supports natural language scripting, self-healing locators, and seamless integration across platforms and technologies.
Lately, my work has expanded into the realm of AI/LLM evaluation, where I've applied QA principles to test and validate LLM-powered systems. From building evaluation chains with LangChain, to visualizing LLM behavior using TruLens, I'm excited about where AI and quality engineering intersect.

My Philosophy
"Beyond the tools and frameworks, what drives me is a mindset of continuous learning, mentorship, and engineering with purpose. Whether I'm optimizing a flaky test suite, mentoring junior SDETs, or evaluating a generative AI model's reliability — I bring a thoughtful, scalable approach to every challenge."
