James Schlauch is the founder of San Diego AI, a senior-practitioner enterprise AI consulting practice based in San Diego County. He is a U.S. Army veteran with more than twelve years across AI, machine learning, and data science — public-sector experience spanning federal, state, local, and academic engagements; production work for Fortune-500 media and entertainment partners; and a recent extension into legal-agentic AI in regulated environments. He runs the practice on a six-engagements-per-year cap and refuses to write slide decks. Memos and working systems only.
