Then: Mr. Priestly worked as an overengineer at Facebook from April, 2007 to April, 2011. On LinkedIn, he lists "sent faxes," as his sole accomplishment during those four years. Thankfully, he goes into a little more detail on the Life at Facebook recruiting page, where he explains how solving a puzzle involving an XKCD comic landed him the job.


Now: Mr. Priestly is presently the lead for Phabricator, an open source suite of web applications he developed at Facebook to help teams communicate about software more effectively. Of course, not every coder has Mr. Priestly's flair for irony, thus he was forced to take to Quora to explain the sarcastic bent in Phabricator's documentation. Mr. Priestly's LinkedIn lists him as the CTO of Phacility, likely the startup version of Phabricator, where fellow Facebook alum Bob Trahan, is listed is the company's CEO.
