Navya Sree Yellina's Portfolio

Imagine having a digital assistant that doesn't just answer your questions, but actually thinks ahead, makes decisions, and takes action on your behalf. Welcome to the world of AI agents – the technology that's about to change everything. The Campus Library Epiphany Picture this: It's 2 AM at Saint Louis University's library during my thesis research on "Privacy Threats in Continuous Learning." I'm surrounded by stacks of research papers, three laptops running different experiments, and enough coffee cups to fuel a small aircraft. I watched the night security guard making his rounds – but he wasn't just following a checklist. He was adapting to situations: checking on students who looked stressed, adjusting the lighting based on occupancy, even coordinating with maintenance when he spotted a flickering bulb. He had goals, made decisions, and took autonomous actions. That's when my thesis-exhausted brain made the connection: This is exactly what I w...

  Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! Pull up a chair and let me tell you a story... When Code Chose Me (Or Did I Choose Code?) Picture this: A 12-year-old girl in Hyderabad, India, sitting cross-legged on her bedroom floor, surrounded by dismantled computer parts that her mom   definitely   didn't know she'd taken apart. That was me – Navya Sree Yellina – trying to figure out why the family computer made that weird buzzing sound. Spoiler alert: I never did fix that buzzing sound. But what I discovered was something far more fascinating – the intricate dance of circuits, the poetry of logic gates, and the magic that happens when electricity meets silicon. That afternoon, covered in dust and probably a few tears of frustration, I made a promise to myself:   I'm going to understand how all of this works. Fast forward to today, and I'm still that curious kid at heart, except now I'm hunting bugs in AI models instead of hardware, and my playground has expanded from bedr...
