My Story

My name is Lex Hegt and, together with my wife and two kids, I live in Leidschendam in The Netherlands. I am in Information Technology since the late eighties and in 2004 I started my journey as a developer and administrator with BizTalk Server. After having been a consultant for 15+ year, in 2016 I moved to kovai.co, which is my current employer.

In my current role, I have been giving many face-to-face and online product and BizTalk Server trainings, done a lot of blogging and have been active with community activities like Integration Monday, hosting webinars, recording podcasts, and lost but not least, helping in setting up our annual INTEGRATE conference in London. Together with Sandro Pereira and Tom Canter, in 2022, we wrote the Migrating to BizTalk Server 2020 book.
