Group Member Names: Katy Welczyko, Zach Landes, Max Stackhouse
I grew up playing hockey and this is where I discovered my skill at working as a team member. I was rarely the fastest, strongest or most skilled player on my team, but I was consistently picked for top compeditive teams, because of my ability to raise the level of play of my teammates. I did this by being flexible and well rounded, which allowed me to fill different roles depending on who I was teamed with.
As I grew up and time came to pick a profession I knew that technology is where I wanted to go. I always have had a knack for problem solving so tech was a good fit. I've been interested in many fields and at times I had dreamed about being a chemist, physicist, geologist and even got a degree in metallurgical engineering. I followed all of these because they were fascinating subjects and have I have moved away from wanting to pursue these careers when I realized what the work environments. A hugh time investment in research for little progress and huge ammounts of capital investments.

| * Date of feedback conversation: | |
| <br>12/08/2017 | |
| * How did you prepare for the conversation? | |
| <br>I looked at our individual goals over the project that we set in our DTR and reflected on whether or not we met those goals. | |
| * How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult? | |
| <br>The conversation was easy for the most part. We had good communication throughout the project, so going into the convo there wasn't a lot of stress about what was going to be said. | |
| <br>Working with this group was so easy, because we all were specific about what we were working on and made few assumptions. | |
| <br>The more difficult part was when discussing areas we could each do better in. There wasn't a lot of feedback here. I'm guessing that it was because we didn't have a lot of conflict or clashing work styles. |

A web tool that can be used to determine the size of a battery needed to store solar energy for a residential application.
During the day solar cells are producing more energy than ever before, but peak demand for electricity is in the evening time when solar cells are not producing. In order to meet peak demand, utility companies resort to producing energy from traditional sources. To combat this, a battery sizing tool will be build so that residential solar installations can college energy during the day for use at night to offset the need for utility companies to need produce. This problem is commonly referred to as the duck curve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve
