About me

An engineer by trade.
A builder by curiosity.

Software engineer · Builder · Teacher · Investor

I’m Husny Jeffrey. Born in Galle, Sri Lanka, I’ve called Singapore home since early 2018. For more than a decade, I’ve helped teams build reliable software. Outside work, I build products around real problems, share what I learn, and mentor people figuring out their next step.

01 / What I do

My work

At Grab, I help keep Promos & Rewards reliable for millions of people across Southeast Asia. My work brings together test strategy, automation, and a deep understanding of how products behave in the real world.

Beyond my day job, I turn problems I care about into practical products.

Sharing what I learn

I’ve also taught more than 2,000 students through my stock-market courses and mentor professionals one-on-one through Topmate, where I’m rated 5.0★ across 100+ reviews and rank among the top 1%.
