Top SchoolSandeep Virdi is a Principal Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building scalable web and data systems, currently driving architecture and delivery at Optum. He brings deep functional-programming sensibilities—working in Scala, Clojure and Haskell influences—alongside practical expertise in Java, JRuby and JavaScript across Play, Lift and Rails stacks. Sandeep has repeatedly designed robust data pipelines and ETL/streaming solutions (including Amazon Kinesis and S3) and has strong experience with Cassandra, MongoDB and MySQL at production scale. He is comfortable across the full stack from DAOs and dependency-injection patterns to rich client-side UIs and performance-minded reporting widgets. Known for simplifying complex architectures (sharding strategies, DI introduction, and testing culture), he blends pragmatic engineering with curiosity about alternative databases and functional approaches.
