# Jerrod Carter — Founder, Real Fun Technology

**Jerrod Carter is an Indiana-based technology executive, former CIO, and AI systems builder.** He designs and operates a production, multi-agent AI system on self-hosted NVIDIA GPU hardware, and helps small and mid-sized organizations adopt practical AI — the kind that ships and holds up in daily operation.

Jerrod started in technology in 1991, straight out of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a Computer Science degree, and has spent the decades since building systems, leading infrastructure teams, designing software architecture, and making technology decisions organizations depend on.

After early years at Eli Lilly and enterprise consulting roles serving clients including AT&T, Walmart, Lockheed Martin, State Farm, Ford, and Hewlett-Packard, he spent 15 years as CIO at Wheaton World Wide Moving and its family of brands — Bekins, Stevens, and Arpin. He retired from that role at the end of 2025 and now runs Real Fun Technology full-time.

Much of that work is now AI. He designs and operates a production, multi-agent AI system on his own NVIDIA GPU hardware — specialized agents with distinct roles, strict approval gates, and safety built in. It runs real work every day. He brings that operator's perspective to clients: he's made the mistakes, hit the failure modes, and learned what it actually takes to make AI dependable rather than impressive-in-a-demo.
