I'm Allison, an Asian American writer and software engineer.

My short stories have appeared in Fantasy Magazine, Diabolical Plots, and Paula Guran's Year's Best Fantasy, among others. I'm also a 2023 Reese's Book Club LitUp fellow.

My debut novel, The Phoenix Pencil Company, is forthcoming from William Morrow / HarperCollins in 2025.

I'm a fullstack engineer building open source data privacy tools at Ethyca. Previously I was building software for surfacing underheard voices at Cortico. I like building hyper specific things to solve my cat's problems.
