Yasuharu Sawada is a Tokyo-based software engineer with 11 years' experience building reliable web and mobile systems, from C++/Cocos2d-x games at CyberAgent to co-founding FOLIO and owning its backend and SRE infrastructure. He blends hands-on backend work in Scala and cloud-native SRE practices—implementing observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Zipkin, and Datadog—with product instincts gained shipping mobile apps and payment/banking integrations like Zengin parsers. As an early-stage SRE at Alp he strengthened billing reliability for a SaaS revenue platform, and he recently contributed backend fixes and SSL handling improvements to the well-known DataDog serverless functions repo. Comfortable across mobile, backend, and infra, he has a research background in software-defined networking from Kyoto University, and a pattern of improving system maintainability through refactoring and better logging. Colleagues rely on him to bridge product needs and operational resilience when taking services from prototype to production.
