Patrick Bender

As an interdisciplinary designer, educator, and content strategist, I thrive at the intersection of immersive technology, AI/ML training, and digital learning. My recent experience includes working with Google’s external workforce on large language model (LLM) development, where I focused on prompt engineering, technical writing, and multimodal content creation for AI/ML pipelines. I have successfully led content teams to deliver high-quality multimedia data and automated reporting processes, achieving remarkable accuracy in payroll and attendance tracking.

In addition to my technical work, I have a passion for education and have created and taught curricula in XR and game design across various higher education and edtech platforms. My courses in Unity, Blender, worldbuilding, VR/AR, and UX/UI have reached over 300 students, receiving an average satisfaction rating of 4.6/5. I am dedicated to developing project-based learning experiences that emphasize creativity and technical skills, ensuring that my students are well-prepared for real-world production pipelines.
