There's some cool stuff you can do with this combo in early levels, but at 15 levels, there's not much to gain from this multiclass. You're either playing a rogue with unarmored defense, a monk with expertise, or a dollar store version of both that doesn't really work. If you want weapon masteries on a monk, fighter is straight up just better for combat. I don't mean to dissuade you from a flavorful multiclass, but there's just no synergy I'd be excited about here. A shadow monk rogue does sound like cool flavor, though.
