Emerging Technology Partner
We are deeply involved in our local universities as they provide us with access to research, new technologies, and a fresh perspective. We are not looking for free internships or short-term labor. We are investing in true long-term partnerships for a bidirectional path to excellence in emerging technologies. We started teaching web development in 2001, mobile development in 2007, cloud computing in 2008, social media applications since 2009, and focus on emerging technologies, data science and machine learning since 2015. It has been a journey which we plan to continue with passion and curiosity.
Dream Team Recruitment.
Recruiting top engineers is just the first part of building a top team. We are looking for students who have been coding since they were teenagers and followed through with developing i.e. a mobile application, an AR/VR experience or connected APIs to build something meaningful. Many of us at some point noticed skills and love for coding but were looking for a real problem, the right team, and some guidance to get to the next level. Smilefish fills exactly that void. We have projects and provide mentorship. You can find us at the career fair. We literally speed interview 150 students in 2 days to select about 10. We first look for interpersonal team spirit, for proof of skills, and last but not least the passion to implement and complete a project. We also hire designers and UI/UX developers.
What We Do
We are still a relatively small company, but our strong engagement at UCI and honest commitment to our students allows us to successfully compete with large corporations over the smartest and brightest students.
In addition to working with students, we are teaching emerging technologies at the UCI Continued Education program.
We joined the advisory board in 2008 and received the ‘Distinguished Instructor Award’ for our contribution to the mobile certificate.
We love the entrepreneurship programs and participated in pitch-contest either as sponsors, judges, or tech-advisors. One of our recent protégées won the California GSEA and 4th place at the national contest.
You can find us at the career fairs, and please feel free to contact us for industry involvement in your projects.

Let's build together! We are offering a unique collaborative work environment close to the UCI campus where emerging technologies meet the business word. It’s our goal to talk less and code more.
