Morphology
The sense 'a lot of experience' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'mucho' (a lot) with 'experience' (practical knowledge), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning. It is colloquial/borrowed (Spanglish) and nonstandard in formal English, but this register information does not prevent comprehension and cognate similarity with Spanish further aids predictability.
Etymology
Mucho experience comes from mixing Spanish mucho and English experience, because mucho means 'a lot'. This playful mix gives the picture of someone carrying a big load of experience, so it is used jokingly or strongly to mean 'a lot of experience'.
