About

I manage energy in running and in the field.

I'm Barış Yavuz. On one side I write about energy management in running; on the other I work on real energy projects, from solar power to electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Both are the same discipline wearing a different face.

Story

Who is ELECTRICMAN?

Hello, I'm Barış Yavuz. My relationship with energy isn't one-sided — on one side, I manage the energy of my own body: heart rate, rhythm, rest, kilometers. On the other, throughout my career I've managed other kinds of energy: energy from the sun, from smart homes, from electric vehicles.

I started my career in economics, continued in finance and insurance; then the road took me abroad — to managing shopping centers in Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Romania. When I returned to Turkey I rose through corporate sales, then moved into the field in the truest sense: first solar energy projects, then building out an electric vehicle charging network at an energy company.

Over time I realized the two are the same discipline. Managing the energy of a solar panel, a charging station, a smart home correctly is no different from managing the energy of your own body — both demand measuring, balancing, and not wasting.

Whoever can't manage their own energy can't manage anything else's energy properly either.
