Appealing to Authority[1] is a fallacy/bias and a quick way to lose a debate.
Instead of saying you have all these creds and therefore your opinion matters more - explain why what you are arguing against is bad. If you are an actual expert, that will be shown through well formed arguments all on it's own.
Not all experts share your opinion, clearly, which makes this angle unhelpful.
