Check out his LinkedIn profile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickshyu - from the projects he describes there, seems like he can back it up. And what's wrong with telling people you're an "ex googler/facebook"? If that's the experience you have to share, fair enough.

It's a running joke in the channel. "Hi welcome to my channel TechLead, with your host The TechLead who's an ex-google and now an ex-facebook tech lead"
