Lauren White developed and maintained end-to-end data submission and configuration workflows for the cdcepi/FluSight-forecast-hub and CDCgov/covid19-forecast-hub repositories, focusing on California influenza and COVID-19 ensemble forecasts. She engineered automated pipelines for weekly CSV and YAML-based submissions, leveraging Python, R, and Git to ensure reproducibility, traceability, and data integrity. Her work standardized quantile-based forecast outputs, improved metadata management, and enabled timely, auditable releases for public health decision-making. By integrating configuration-driven modeling and robust data validation, Lauren addressed operational needs for both data engineering and statistical analysis, supporting collaborative, version-controlled forecasting across multiple teams and submission cycles.
