Who is Christian Till?
Meet the Man Who Started It All
Hey everyone! Christian here. I’m a nerd at heart who learned about fiber optics the first time during my studies for a B. Sc. in applied informatics and communication technologies. Today, I’m well into my fiber optics career.
I was hooked on fiber from the first minute and decided to dig deep into the subject, which led to a project around Brillouin scattering. You can hear more about it in episode 1. The theory is nothing without hands-on activities, and so I pulled cables, spliced, and performed customer activations for a local city carrier with whom I later wrote my thesis on their migration path towards WDM-PON.
After first accepting a position as a fiber product manager focused on the cable MSO market, I joined EXFO in 2015 as a Subject Matter Expert providing thought leadership for best practices in fiber network deployment.
How Become Fiberminded began
As my journey continued, I met kind, talented, and generous people who helped me grow my understanding and my chops. I also realized early on that I wanted to help others take control of their professional destinies in fiber optics, too and this was the spark that launched Become Fiberminded (BFM).
The more I taught others, the more I learned myself, and the Become Fiberminded podcast helps me to give back to the community in a private capacity.
