Virgo has spent most of his career in service design, working on the client side, the implementation side, and in supervisory roles. The mistakes encountered over the years have provided him with experience and skills to foresee potential risks and dangers. On the dark web, Virgo has been criticized by criminals for creating an overly effective e-Police system, and domestically for developing an overly efficient speed camera system. On the other hand, he has received gratitude from manufacturing companies for preventing large budgeted investments by finding ways with his team to achieve the same results at a fraction of the cost.
 
Before joining KPMG, Virgo provided critical services in the Estonian Police as the Chief Information Officer and Deputy Director of the IT Development Center of the Ministry of the Interior (SMIT).
