Saaketh Bhojanam

Co-Founder

Hello! I'm Saaketh Bhojanam from Bloomington, Illinois. My whole live, I’ve loved hiking and just being outdoors. But whenever I did stuff like this, I'd always find random bug bites the next day. Many people I know avoid the outdoors simply because they’re scared of random bug bites. That’s why I wanted to build bite sense. To ensure every hiker safety and peace of mind.

Sohum Mehta

Co-Founder

Hi! I'm Sohum Mehta from Bloomington, Illinois and strive to solve problems in my community. I was inspired to make BiteSense from the bug bites I would recieve after playing sports like Tennis. The itching was bothering and I noticed that my friends and family also experienced this. From my passion in programming and research, I decided the create BiteSense.

Sonit Sahoo

Co-Founder

Hey, I'm Sonit Sahoo, a sophomore from Naperville, Illinois! One night, I woke up COVERED in extremely itchy bug bites, however, I simply had no idea how I had gotten them. This same event occurred for many nights, and eventually I had had enough, so, with the skills in programming I've gained in the last few years, I decided to help create BiteSense.

Abhilash Polu

Co-Founder

Hello, I’m Abhilash Polu, and I’m currently a junior at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. Ever since I saw the applications it has, I’ve had a passion for the intersection of medicine and AI-driven diagnostics in healthcare. Through BiteSense, I hope to provide people with a fast and efficient way to analyze their bug bites.
