AI implementation and systems automation, based in North Bay, Ontario
I connect the tools your team already relies on and automate the busywork between them, freeing your team to deliver more, respond to customers faster, win more work, and run leaner all at once.
20+ years in production systemsSystems and AI consultingNorth Bay, Ontario
I turn repetitive, manual work into dependable AI-assisted workflows that fit the way your team already operates.
I connect the software you already pay for, so information moves where it needs to without copy-and-paste, disconnected spreadsheets, or missed handoffs.
I map how work moves through your business, remove the friction that limits throughput, and focus improvements where they raise output and lower the cost of each unit of work.
When an off-the-shelf tool is not enough, I build the focused web, mobile, and internal software that closes the gap.
I set up the infrastructure, integrations, and delivery pipelines that keep your automations dependable as your business changes.
I help you choose the right opportunities, avoid expensive AI theatre, and leave your team with systems they understand and can run.
I start with how work actually happens: the tools, data, handoffs, and workarounds your team deals with every day. From there, I identify the friction worth fixing, then build connected automations in practical stages. The goal is not to add AI for its own sake. It is to leave you with a more capable operation: the same team delivering more, responding to customers faster, and taking on more work, with lower operating cost as one result among several. It is also an operation your team understands and owns.
Roy Systems is one senior engineer, not an agency. You work directly with Gregory Roy: twenty-plus years running production systems and engineering teams for platforms that could not afford to go down.
Applied AI
Daily practitioner, not a spectator: AI agents doing real code delivery and review, automated workflows connecting the tools businesses already run on, and the judgment to know when AI is theatre and when it pays for itself.
Systems people depend on
Technical leadership for a scheduling platform used by hospital emergency departments: a zero-downtime production database migration, a move to modern infrastructure, and the delivery pipelines and safeguards around it.
Scale under pressure
Ran the platform engineering behind a global advertising exchange and one of Canada's busiest consumer websites, where minutes of downtime carry real cost: resiliency practices, on-call that does not burn people out, and environments that let teams ship quickly and safely.
Infrastructure at every scale
Operated physical datacentres and cloud platforms side by side, automated provisioning toward self-healing services, and carried more than one organization through the migration between the two.
People and process
Grew engineering teams severalfold and built delivery functions from scratch more than once: release pipelines, documentation, and escalation paths that people actually use. The goal is always the same one this consultancy has: leave systems the team understands and runs without me.
Roy Systems helps small and mid-sized businesses put AI to practical use. I connect the software your team already relies on and automate the manual handoffs between tools, so the same team can deliver more, respond to customers faster, and take on more work at a lower cost per job. Work can cover implementation, integration, process and cost optimization, and the cloud plumbing that keeps everything dependable.
Owners and operations leads at small and mid-sized businesses, especially teams losing hours to copy-paste work, disconnected spreadsheets, and tools that do not talk to each other. You do not need a technical background. Explaining things plainly is part of the job.
Gregory Roy does, directly. Roy Systems is a solo consultancy backed by twenty-plus years of production engineering across healthcare operations, global advertising technology, and some of Canada's busiest online platforms. No handoffs, no juniors, no outsourcing.
Roy Systems Consulting is run by Gregory Roy in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Work happens on site in the North Bay area and remotely across Ontario and the rest of Canada.
Email [email protected] with a short note about what is slowing your team down. I will reply to set up a first conversation, look at how work moves through your business today, and suggest a few practical places to start.
Usually not. The starting point is almost always the tools you already pay for. New software comes up only when it closes a real gap, and only after the simpler options have been ruled out.
