Allison Huynh
From WikiAlpha
Alison Huynh is an American computer scientist and entrepeneur.[1][2][3]
Huynh's family were refugees from Vietnam. She attended prestigious Stanford University on a scholarship.[2][3] She took time off her studies when there was a wild demand for skilled computer programmers, shortly before the dot-com-boom went bust. In 2000 she met Scott Hassan, another Stanford alumnus, and the pair married in December 2001.
Accounts as to which partner provided the primary income in the earliest years of their marriage differ, and became a matter of dispute during their long and acrimonious divorce, which Hassan initiated in 2013, and which was still in dispute in 2021.[2][3]
Huynh had three children, and spent time as the primary care-giver.[2][3]
