Independent AI consulting

AI research.
Real-world systems.

I’m Robert Thijs Kozma, an AI consultant and mathematician with experience in marketing and adtech. I help teams build generative AI, agentic systems, and multimodal applications, from research to production. I welcome projects across industries.

How I can help

Technical direction and hands-on work, shaped around your team’s next step.

Research & strategy

Work through the technical questions: where AI can help, which approaches fit your data, and what to test first.

Prototypes & development

Build and assess working prototypes for agentic LLM systems, multimodal analysis, and enterprise workflows.

Production & handoff

Translate research into scalable AI workflows, with attention to integration, operational needs, and the team taking it forward.

Selected work

iSpot SAGE AI

Previous role
Principal Research Data Scientist · iSpot

My marketing and adtech experience includes work on SAGE AI, iSpot’s enterprise platform for multimodal creative analysis and advertising intelligence.

At iSpot, I worked across its development—from early research and prototyping through production and operational handoff. My focus included multimodal reasoning, cognitive modeling, and scalable AI workflows built on enterprise data.

A mathematical perspective

I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2021, advised by Alex Furman. My research spans dynamical systems, ergodic theory, probability, and hyperbolic geometry.

That background shapes how I approach AI: looking for useful structure in complex systems, and connecting abstract ideas with computation.
