Summary
Dustin Tracy is a Principal AI Engineer and computational physicist with a decade of experience turning complex data into production-grade ML systems. He combines a PhD in Physics with hands-on applied science work—building robust data pipelines, feature engineering, and training models with tools like XGBoost and PyTorch—to materially speed up analytics and UX performance. At oxyML he led integrations that enabled daily SQL updates, cut site loading times fivefold, and boosted processing speeds by 50%, and now brings that operational rigor to Acadia Healthcare. He advises on model validation, security, and metrics-driven evaluation (recall, AUC) for financial and healthcare stakeholders, bridging technical depth with executive-facing strategy. Based in Franklin, TN, he also has entrepreneurial and teaching roots, from running a water-purification business to tutoring and instructing STEM courses, which sharpen his ability to translate complex ideas for diverse audiences.
