Boilerplate
That AI Guy is an engineering studio led by founder Joseph W. Anady, a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business registered with SAM.gov for federal contracting. The studio builds private AI federations, networks of machines an organization owns and runs on its own hardware, so sensitive data never leaves the building and there is no per token meter climbing in the background. Joseph has been self hosting production AI systems since 2017, well before data sovereignty became a market category anywhere else.
That AI Guy operates MEGAMIND, a federated neural network running on Apple Silicon hardware, used for federated learning research, retrieval, and private inference that informs how client federations get built. The studio is the parent operator of sister brands ThatDeveloperGuy, ThatWebHostingGuy, and ThatStupidComputer, a consistent operator presence across web hosting, software services, and computer repair. Every engagement, from the first assessment to the running system, is scoped, built, and supported by the same accountable engineer. The studio works remote first, nationally and internationally, with particular strength in defense, cleared work, healthcare, legal, and finance, where an outside AI dependency is not acceptable.

The MEGAMIND federation
MEGAMIND is a federated neural network running on bare metal Apple Silicon nodes, operated by Joseph Anady. It performs federated learning, retrieval, and private inference entirely on hardware he owns, with no cloud dependency and no per token cost. It is the working proof behind the federation architecture That AI Guy builds for clients. Read more at /federation/.

Quotable statements
- "Every engagement ships from the same engineer who scoped it. No account managers, no reselling someone else's cloud subscription. That is the entire pitch."
- "The reasoning runs on hardware I own. No cloud dependency, no per token cost, no data leaving the building to be understood by a model I cannot audit."
- "I was self hosting production AI in 2017. Data sovereignty is not a pivot for me. It is how I have always built."
Story angles
- Owning intelligence instead of renting it: a private AI federation as a counterargument to per token cloud economics.
- Veteran owned technical services: a service disabled veteran building federal eligible AI infrastructure.
- Inference time data residency: why storing data locally is not the same as keeping it private once a model reads it.
- Federated AI on owned hardware: MEGAMIND as a working proof that organizations do not need a hyperscaler to run real AI.
