August 2025 focused on documentation and workflow enhancement for the Starsim SIR calibration feature set. Key delivery: moved the SIR calibration notebook into Starsim docs, updated the configuration to include the new notebook, and added a notebook demonstrating fitting stochastic SIR models to synthetic data using Optuna with standalone and Starsim-Optuna calibration (commit 317c7f9d05d5f93934e56c399c18d301e10b6544). Impact: improves onboarding, reproducibility, and accessibility of calibration workflows for users of starsimhub/starsim. No major bugs fixed this period. Demonstrated technologies/skills: Python, Jupyter notebooks, documentation tooling, config management, Optuna-based optimization, stochastic modeling, and reproducible research practices.
