Monte Thakkar

Hello, I'm Monte. 👋🏻 I’m currently working as a Product Engineer at a tech startup called Curio. We are building the best NFT analytics product in the Web3 space. We are a small but highly experienced team working remotely in the US.

I’m currently based in Austin, Texas, and have lived here for over a year.

Previously, I worked as an iOS  engineer at Expedia. I’ve also worked as a full-stack engineer @ Pillow which Expedia acquired in 2018.

Key Beliefs

Who you work with is more important than what you work on.
It’s about the journey (being present) not the destination (end outcome).

If you can be FULLY present in THIS moment, every outcome is a good one.

Curiosity is the cure for judgment (grounding assessments not assertive declarations).
Life is all about probabilities.
All we control is our reactions to events & how we resolve things that happen to us in life. Take responsibility.
Focus on the knowns (what you can control) and not on the unknowns (uncertainty)
In what way can I grow as an individual today & how can I move my team forward? (think outside the box, not ordinary contributions, connect with team members)
