Nova Notes

About

Hi, I'm Clara Lehto. I have been building and operating backend systems for a little over a decade, most of it at small companies where "the infrastructure team" meant two people and a pager.

These days I work as an infrastructure engineer in Warsaw, mostly on networking, observability and making deployments boring. Outside of work I run a handful of self-hosted services for friends and family, which is where most of the material for this blog comes from.

What I write about

  • Linux networking and kernel tuning
  • nginx, TLS and the web stack
  • Small-scale self-hosting done properly
  • Profiling and performance in Go
