Trym Stene

Short version

40, from Oslo, mildly internet-famous for a fruit.

By day I'm Lead SEO & CRO Specialist at Telenor, with 20+ years of building websites and making content behind me — with stops at Starcom/Publicis, NHO, Storebrand and Webhuset along the way.

By night I make the internet laugh and noise in the studio as DJ Sentry. And once, in 1999, I drew a dancing banana that got a little out of hand.

A few things I've made

The longer version

1999 — The Dancing Banana

~2010 — Hack The Planet

Co-founded a small game studio and built a web-based hacker game that reached ~2,000 active players before we pulled the plug.

2013 — Anonymous satire

Launched an anonymous account mocking Norway's social-media and communications industry. It got loud enough to make the press. See the projects →

Always — Silly little web projects & music

Fake municipalities, Netflix parodies, a corona-to-meatball browser extension, and electronic music as DJ Sentry. Projects → · Music →
