About me
I’m Jer Holum — Jeremiah Holum. AI is my specialty. I work at Coulee Tech, I build real systems with AI coding agents, I co-wrote a book about IT support, and I teach at Coulee Tech’s AI Business Retreat.
What I do
I work at Coulee Tech, which provides managed IT, cybersecurity and AI services for businesses: AI business coaching, proactive IT support and cybersecurity protection for manufacturers and healthcare organizations in Wisconsin and Florida. AI is my specialty.
Building with AI
I build real systems with AI coding agents, and the best examples are on this site. The jerholum.com game platform was designed, migrated and deployed in one evening by AI coding agents (Claude Code) working directly on a bare Linux server: 16 games moved over, an account hub, a login gate, and a deploy pipeline with automatic backups and rollback, with several agents working in parallel. This website was built by an AI agent on the same server. Harter’s Truck Sim, a garbage-truck driving game on real La Crosse County routes made in partnership with Harter’s Quick Clean-Up, was built with AI agents too.
How I work with AI:
- Agents on real servers, with guardrails. AI coding agents work directly on a live Linux server under written house rules: never lose a save, never break a running game, deploy the same way every time. Every deploy backs up data first, checks the new version is healthy and rolls back on its own if it isn’t.
- Several agents at once. Big jobs are split up and run by several agents in parallel, with one coordinating the rest — migrating 16 games, building the account hub, the login gate and the deploy pipeline in a single evening.
- A person decides what ships. Everything is in Git and every release can be rolled back. New games stay private until I choose to publish them, and the rules the agents follow are written down in plain language.
Writing
With Rod Holum, I co-wrote Buttkicking IT Support: Coulee Tech, Inc (2024). A short guide for businesses thinking about switching IT providers: what to check about the support you have now, and how Coulee Tech brings a new client on board.
Speaking
I’m teaching at AI Business Retreat 2027 on at Long Lake Shores Estate in Stone Lake, Wisconsin, alongside Rod Holum, Aaron Libner and Tim Holum. I’ve spoken at Coulee Tech’s AI Business Retreat before: a full-day, hands-on AI retreat for business leaders. More on speaking.
