Julian van Dijk
Software Developer · Huizen, Nederland · HBO-ICT Software Development
Software Developer focused on building practical, structured applications — with growing experience in C#, full-stack development, AI/RAG, automation, and esports tools.
I work best in environments where structure, ownership and collaboration matter. My background in volleyball translates well to development teams: clear communication, short feedback loops, discipline, and improving together after every iteration.
Current Focus
C# / .NET Development
Working in existing codebases, building structured backend logic, and deepening knowledge of the .NET ecosystem.
Full-Stack Applications
End-to-end development with a focus on clean architecture, maintainability, and practical product delivery.
AI / RAG & Automation
Applied AI using Retrieval-Augmented Generation to generate more accurate, context-aware output from datasets.
APIs & Data Dashboards
Building integrations, data pipelines, and dashboards that turn raw information into usable product layers.
Product Thinking
Iterative development with ownership — from concept to shipped feature, with attention to user value and scope management.
Esports & Community Tools
Building structured platforms for fragmented communities: team discovery, profiles, tier lists, and ecosystem visibility.
Projects
Hextech.Tools
Esports Platform · Active

Esports Atlas
Esports · Directory · Mapping Platform · Active
Esports Atlas maps esports organizations across Europe by country and game, helping players, teams and communities understand who is active in the ecosystem. The project reflects my interest in building structured tools for fragmented communities and turning scattered information into a usable product layer.
- Directory of esports organizations by country and game
- Focus on discoverability and ecosystem visibility
- Built as part of a broader vision to connect esports teams, players and communities
- Product-oriented project with room for future filtering, profiles, and map-based discovery
AI/RAG Analytics Assistant
Graduation Project · AI / Full-Stack
During my graduation project I worked on a real-time analytics dashboard and implemented an AI agent using Retrieval-Augmented Generation. The goal was to retrieve relevant information from datasets and use it as context for more accurate and useful output.
- Real-time analytics dashboard
- AI agent using RAG for contextual data retrieval
- Data retrieval and contextual output generation
- Focus on practical AI integration rather than AI as a gimmick
