Why does MapYourTech exist when there are already training platforms?

Because most platforms teach you to pass tests. We teach you to solve real problems.

Founded by Sanjay Yadav in 2011, MapYourTech was born from frustration—watching talented engineers struggle because they knew the theory but couldn't apply it in live networks. We're the bridge between what you learned in school and what you actually need in the field.

Reality Check: Generic tech platforms make money from volume. We make money when your career actually advances. That's why we focus on the smallest viable market—optical network professionals who want transformation, not just information.

Who succeeds with MapYourTech (and who doesn't)?

You'll thrive here if you're:

  • A fresh graduate tired of theoretical knowledge that doesn't translate to job interviews
  • An experienced engineer who knows you need automation skills but doesn't know where to start
  • A pre-sales professional who needs to speak technical truth with confidence
  • Someone who believes that deep expertise in a focused area beats shallow knowledge across everything
"Finally, someone who understands that knowing OSNR calculations on paper means nothing if you can't optimize a live network." - Senior Network Architect, Verizon
Reality Check: If you're looking for surface-level overviews or want to avoid getting your hands dirty with real tools and code, this isn't for you. We're for engineers who want to become irreplaceable, not replaceable.

What makes us different from every other learning platform?

Three things that matter:

  • Surgical Focus: Only optical networking and telecom automation. No distractions, no generic content.
  • Industry Reality: We show you the actual tools, code, and calculations used in real network operations
  • Career Transformation: We measure success by your promotions, not your course completions
Reality Check: Being different isn't enough—being better for a specific group is everything. We're not trying to be the biggest platform; we're trying to be the most effective for people like you.

What exactly do you get access to?

Everything you need to go from where you are to where you want to be:

  • Interactive courses that use real network scenarios (not toy examples)
  • Professional-grade calculators for OSNR, latency, spectrum planning
  • Secure technical library with industry-specific books and guides
  • Design worksheets and planning tools used by actual network architects
  • Career intelligence: salary data, interview prep, role transition guides
  • Direct access to industry veterans who've been where you want to go
Reality Check: This isn't a Netflix-style content library. It's a professional toolkit. You'll work harder here than on other platforms, but you'll also advance faster.

How do I know if this will actually work for me?

Start with our free resources—no commitment required:

  • Explore our engineering calculators and glossary
  • Try sample course modules to see our teaching approach
  • Read our technical blog posts to gauge the depth

When you're ready to commit to your transformation, upgrade to unlock everything.

Reality Check: We can't guarantee success—that depends on your effort. But we can guarantee that what you learn here is exactly what's being used in real networks today, not outdated theory.

How do you protect your content (and why should I care)?

All content is original, created by working professionals, and protected by copyright. Our secure online reader prevents piracy while ensuring you always have access.

Reality Check: We protect our content because it has real value. When something can be easily copied and shared for free, it usually means it's not worth much. Our protection ensures you're getting exclusive, professional-grade material.

For enterprise licensing or training programs, contact us directly at contact@mapyourtech.com.

Can I contribute or become part of the community?

Absolutely. We're always looking for industry experts who want to share real-world knowledge:

  • Guest tutorial creators
  • Technical blog contributors
  • Webinar speakers and workshop leaders
  • Case study contributors from live deployments

Email your background and ideas to contact@mapyourtech.com.

Reality Check: We're selective about contributors because quality matters more than quantity. If you've got real experience and can teach others, we want to hear from you.
