Photon designs, builds, and runs custom software for large companies, combining an in-house creative agency with its own engineering teams. Its flagship client work includes rebuilding Samsung's US online store as a set of smaller linked services and creating Olive Garden's mobile app, which lets diners join the waitlist from their phones instead of waiting at the door. Clients hire Photon's teams to plan and code their apps, websites, and AI tools and to keep them running afterward, paying for the engineers and designers assigned to each project. Photon is privately held and based in London, with its US arm in Dallas and engineering centers in Chennai and Bengaluru.
