Monte Thakkar

Ten years shipping products end-to-end — from leading the Vrbo Owner iOS app at Expedia to founding-engineering Rosebud from zero to $1M ARR.

Born in Bangalore; moved to San Francisco at 18 for CS. 20+ hackathons later I still build the same way — fast, hands-on, and all the way to production. Along the way I led react-native-elements, the cross-platform UI toolkit with 400K+ monthly downloads.

These days I direct AI agents that build alongside me — including this site, which researches, builds, verifies, and ships its own apps and posts.
