A huge coding competition and business pitch event.  Focusing on AI techniques and machine-learning applications, and diving into advanced topics in business intelligence, we had a fantastic time.

🔐 Predictive AI™ – An Original Innovation by Sam Castillo

 

AI cybersecurity has evolved—but the foundational innovation behind Predictive AI™ was born right here. Created and developed by Sam Castillo, this IP-protected system uses statistical modeling, pattern recognition, and machine learning to identify threats before they occur.

This is not just another AI system. It's a patented methodology developed to redefine risk detection and automate strategic defenses.

Networking & Business Connections

Gabriel - Veteran Entrepreneur

I gave Sam very vague requirements about a data analysis project, and he worked with me to define the scope while iterating to ensure the final product met my needs. He delivered valuable insights under budget and discovered patterns in the data I never expected. His expertise perfectly complemented my industry knowledge. I strongly recommend Sam for any data-related task.

Gavin - No-Code Automation Expert

Working directly with Sam has been a pleasure, especially on technical projects. He always keeps the overarching goal in mind, which creates flexibility and makes it easier to achieve wins along the way. His coordination between different team members ensured smooth project execution.

Faizan - Graphic Artist

Sam and I worked together for eight months on Upwork. He has been running a teaching business for 18 months, specializing in data science. Beyond being easy to work with, he excels in project management, even under tight deadlines and last-minute changes. He always provided clear instructions and checked my workload before assigning projects, ensuring a balanced workflow. His talent, professionalism, and attitude speak volumes!

Data is connectedness — and so are we

Matt - Fullstack Web Engineer

I met Sam at the Austin Indie Hackers meetup, where he stood out as someone who values hands-on experience over theory. Whether it was copywriting or engaging an audience on social media, Sam’s practical advice raised the bar for our group. His insights on promoting projects elevated my thinking—he's an asset to any team looking to grow

Cornelius – Senior Software Engineer 

Sam has been co-hosting virtual entrepreneurship and innovation meetings since the pandemic began, playing an integral role in maintaining that community. He listens to others' ideas, provides valuable advice, and helps connect people to the skills and expertise they need. He is dedicated to growth and willing to step outside his comfort zone

Kelsie – UX Design & Product Manager

Sam and I worked on improving data visualization within our firm. He took initiative by creating a survey to better understand the tools others were using, ensuring that design decisions aligned with user needs. He also helped develop an R library for internal use. Sam is proactive, always seeking to improve work experiences for others

Stephen, Actuarial Analyst, Health Insurance

"Sam's course was great. I took Exam PA in June 2021 and got my first 10 on an exam. I used only Sam's course and practice exams to study."

Sean, Actuarial Associate

"I almost exclusively used ExamPA.net for studying, crammed it all in two days, and still got an 8!"

Sam, Actuarial Analyst

"I recently took and passed the June 2021 PA sitting. I got a 9 with your help—the highest exam score I've ever had, and on my first attempt! Loved your prep. Thank you! Don't suppose I can convince you to make a guide for the EA exams next?"

Predictive Analytics Lessons

The SOA modules do not prepare you for this exam. Sam’s course helped me pass even though I started it late—I only purchased it on October 28th and sat for the exam on December 7th. I passed with a 7. The course tells you what you need to know and HOW to study effectively. The way he teaches, writes, and explains things makes it easy to understand."

A great learning tool and life saver!

"Buy 👏 this 👏 course 👏 This course is the reason I passed in December. I wouldn't have been able to prepare at all on my own, and I wouldn’t have even been willing to TRY to sit for the December exam if it weren’t for this product. I passed after only studying for 2.5 months because Sam is really THAT GOOD. Passed Dec 2019."

Delegate the Code. Focus on Strategy.

 

I handle the models, pipelines, and messy data — so you can focus on making smart business moves.

With experience at Expedia Group (handling global tax data pipelines), and actuarial analytics at Milliman and Willis Towers Watson, I’ve worked across industries. Now as the founder of Predictive Insights AI, I help startups and small businesses turn raw data into real results.

From ETL & EDA workflows to automated predictions and dashboards, I deliver insights without the noise — so you don’t have to write a single line of code.

Want your business to think like a data scientist (without becoming one)?
Let’s make that happen.
