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.

There's nothing wrong with telling people you're an "ex googler", but mentioning it whenever you can is quite... weird?

I mean from Youtuber that wants to get viewers perspective it's perfectly reasonable, but generally it looks not nice for me.

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"

I think it's tongue in cheek.
