Status: Building · Accepting client work

Product experiments,shipped to production.

type-safe : Studio is an indie product studio. We build software we believe should exist — and take on select client projects for teams that need a senior operator, not a dev shop.

Experiments in flight.

Not slide decks. Running code. One thesis at a time, built properly — some will grow, some will get shelved, all will ship.

A living atlas of good.

An interactive globe plotting real environmental and social projects across 130+ countries — from coral nurseries in Fiji to Indigenous ranger programs in Arnhem Land. We designed, built, and run it end to end, and every link sends support straight to the people doing the work.

// Client work

The studio takes on client work.

Client projects fund the build and keep the stack sharp. Same engineering standards as our own products — production-grade, type-safe, shipped by an indie founder who's done this at startup and scale-up.

01 / Engineering
Product engineering

Full-stack builds, MVPs, and hard technical problems — scoped tight, shipped fast.

02 / Infrastructure
Architecture & infra

Systems that scale without rewrites. The boring stuff done right from day one.

03 / AI
AI & data pipelines

LLM orchestration, observability, deterministic automation — production, not demos.

Strongly typed
capabilities.

The stack behind every studio build and client project.

Engineering

Distributed systems, type-safe backends, and high-concurrency architecture.

Product

Scoping the non-negotiables. Minimal surface area for maximum impact.

AI & Data

LLM orchestration, vector stores, and deterministic pipeline automation.

Infrastructure

Terraform, edge runtimes, and zero-downtime deployments by default.

// Operator

One operator.
Fifteen years of receipts.

I'm Rich Huth — product engineer, entrepreneur, and the operator behind type-safe : Studio. I've spent the last fifteen years shipping software across early-stage startups, Series C scale-ups, and frontier AI tooling.

type-safe : Studio is where that experience compounds — building product ideas I care about, and taking on client work when the fit is right.
