Pierre Montanov

I build backend AI systems that make your existing software smarter.

Technical Business Analyst & Software Engineer | Master's in IT
Founder, Amphibian Labs | AI & automation consulting for Australian SMBs.
5+ years turning complex business problems into production-ready solutions.

My Approach

Most companies don't need another platform. They need the platform they already have to do more.

I specialize in designing and building backend AI services that plug into existing systems. No migrations, no vendor lock-in, no disruption. Think of it as adding an intelligence layer to infrastructure that already works.

  Business Need          What I Deliver           Your System
  ─────────────          ──────────────           ───────────
  "We need to            Requirements > API >     EHR now auto-imports
   process 200            OCR pipeline >           structured patient
   PDFs a day"            Docker deploy            data in seconds

  Stakeholders ──▶  BA + Engineer (same person) ──▶  Production

I bring a dual perspective to every project: the business analyst who maps stakeholder needs, compliance requirements, and ROI, and the engineer who builds the API, writes the tests, and ships the container.

What I Do

AI-Enhanced Backends | I build services that sit behind your existing systems and make them smarter. Document intelligence, data extraction, classification, validation, automation, delivered as REST APIs or containerized microservices your team can deploy and forget.

Microsoft Ecosystem Automation | Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI), Dynamics 365 CRM, and broader Microsoft tooling. I help organisations automate workflows, build internal apps, and get more from the systems they already pay for.

Business-to-Technical Translation | With 5+ years as a Technical BA, I bridge the gap between what the business needs and what engineering delivers. I write the requirements and the code.

Production-Grade Engineering | Everything I build ships with tests, Docker, health probes, structured logging, and deployment scripts. No prototypes left on a branch.

Featured Project

DocIQ | A backend AI engine that converts unstructured medical PDFs (scanned or digital, English or Spanish) into clean, validated, FHIR-compliant JSON. Built to plug into existing healthcare infrastructure without replacing anything.

Prescriptions, lab results, clinical histories: in as a PDF, out as structured data your EHR, LIMS, or patient portal already understands.

Stack: Python, FastAPI, Tesseract OCR, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, OpenCV, Pydantic v2, Regex, FHIR R4, Docker | 1,100+ tests | Production-ready with Nginx, rate limiting, and health probes.

Also Working On

Real-time security surveillance AI | Designing a cascading multi-model inference pipeline (YOLOv10, SlowFast, ViTPose) for detecting violence, weapons, zone breaches, and threatening postures at the edge. Hybrid edge-plus-cloud architecture, fully open-source stack (PyTorch, OpenCV, paho-mqtt). Early stage, not yet public.

Tech I Work With

Languages & Frameworks: Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, Node.js
AI & Data Processing: OCR (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR), NLP, OpenCV, Regex, document classification, structured extraction
Microsoft Ecosystem: Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI), Dynamics 365 CRM
Infrastructure: Docker, Docker Compose, Nginx, CI/CD, multi-stage builds
Standards & Interop: FHIR R4, REST APIs, JSON Schema
Analysis & Design: Requirements engineering, process mapping, stakeholder management, ITSM, system integration design

Let's Work Together

If you have systems that work but struggle with unstructured data, manual processes, or documents that only humans can read, that's exactly the problem I solve.
