Résumé · August 2026

Caleb Stacy

LinkedIn

Senior content designer with more than five years in product content and twelve years across product and education. I turn complex systems into clear experiences, then build the standards and checks that help teams keep shipping well. At Meta, I built AI content quality systems and led content for spatial navigation and just-in-time onboarding across VR and mobile.

Experience

November 2022 - May 2026

Meta

Content designer to senior content designer · Horizon and AI systems

  • Built a domain-specific AI content-design agent and its operating model. It used deterministic checks for hard rules and returned traceable recommendations, while contextual decisions stayed with specialists. Content designers and partners across Meta adopted it, and it remained in use after my departure.
  • Converted an AI assistant's response-quality rubric into 29 deterministic checks and built voice baselines from thousands of shipped strings across ten products. The standards lived in tools and review workflows, not only in documentation.
  • Led content strategy and metadata information architecture for Horizon portals, the spatial navigation system introduced at Meta Connect 2024. I defined progressive disclosure, secured the canonical entry point, and delivered a reusable, localizable pattern.
  • Co-developed a new-user strategy that replaced a fourteen-plus-lesson first run with just-in-time education inside VR. The work improved onboarding and retention, and the Meta Quest team adopted the approach.
  • Authored more than 100 shipped product and infrastructure changes, including code. I also built an experimentation practice that helped more than 35 content designers test language and report results with product and research partners.

October 2021 - October 2022

Digbi Health

Lead UX writer

  • Led product content at a precision-health startup, designing personalized journeys from onboarding through behavior change and translating microbiome science and clinical genetics into information people could act on.

April 2021 - October 2021

8x8

UX writer

  • Turned enterprise communications and contact-center administration into product flows business owners could configure without an IT department.

2014 - 2021

WVU, VCU, and Army Logistics University

Professor of writing and communication

  • Taught university writers and Army officers to make complex ideas usable, then gave feedback that improved the writer's judgment beyond the draft in front of them.

Selected work

Three case studies showing the systems and product decisions behind the work.

  1. Verso

    AI content governance · Meta · 2025-2026

    Good guidance is written for people. Agents need a checkable target.

  2. Meta Horizon NUX

    New-user education · 2025

    Find the fun first. Teach in the moment.

  3. Portals

    Spatial interaction · Meta Horizon · 2024

    Designing navigation when the interface is the space.

Public work

  1. Word Math

    An open engine that decomposes writing into twelve computable dimensions, turns a target profile into generation constraints, then validates the result; ships a skill that teaches any coding agent to lint its own prose. github.com/calebstacy/word-math

  2. Slop No More

    A deterministic scanner for the rhetorical moves that make prose read as machine-written: a 26-family catalog, severity tiers, repair rules, and CI support. github.com/calebstacy/slop-no-more
