Monte Thakkar

Hello, I'm Monte. 👋🏻  I would best describe myself as a curious, growth-minded & driven person. I’m an experienced product engineer with expertise in early-stage full-stack product engineering. I currently live in LA with my girlfriend, Su.

I’m building Rosebud along with Chrys Bader & Sean Dadashi. We are a small but highly experienced team exploring how AI can help improve mental health. We work from an office in Santa Monica, CA. 🏖️ We previously worked on Curio, a widely recognized NFT analytics tool in Web3.

My first job out of college was at a short-term rental startup called Pillow which Expedia acquired in 2018. After that, I worked as an iOS  engineer at Expedia for 3 years.

I have shipped tech products to over a million users worldwide using: React Native, Swift & SwiftUI, React, Express, Ruby on Rails, Postgres, AWS Lambdas, Twitter Bot, and Discord Bot.
