Meet Jack, who combines his work in IT with a special passion: professional kickboxing.<\/p>\n<h3>Eight years of training for one special moment<\/h3>\n<p>Kickboxing has played an important role in Jack\u2019s life for years. What began as a sporting challenge grew into a serious ambition. With years of training, discipline, and perseverance, he worked toward a special goal: his debut as a professional kickboxer.<\/p>\n<p>Eight years after his first match, the moment had finally arrived. In late October, Jack stepped into the ring in Vienna for his first professional fight. And he succeeded: he won his debut.<\/p>\n<p>A special milestone after years of hard work.<\/p>\n<h3>Two worlds, the same mindset<\/h3>\n<p>At first glance, software development and kickboxing might seem to have little in common. Yet there are similarities.<\/p>\n<p>As a Senior Developer, Jack tackles technical challenges that require analytical thinking, concentration, and problem-solving skills. In the ring, it\u2019s all about preparation, strategy, and the ability to make the right decisions under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Both require discipline, patience, and a willingness to constantly improve yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>Support from the Sidelines<\/h3>\n<p>During his professional debut in Vienna, Jack wasn\u2019t alone. Several colleagues and managing partners from Tacstone also traveled to Austria to cheer him on from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>A wonderful moment when colleagues connect outside of work and celebrate special personal achievements together.<\/p>\n<h3>More Than Just a Developer<\/h3>\n<p>Jack\u2019s story shows just how many different talents, ambitions, and passions our colleagues have.<\/p>\n<p>For Jack, that means combining the challenge of solving complex technical problems with constantly pushing himself in the kickboxing ring.<\/p>\n<p>And after his successful professional debut, he certainly has at least one special milestone to look back on.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations on this amazing achievement, Jack![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By day, he\u2019s a Senior Developer at Tacstone Technology; by night, he\u2019s a professional kickboxer.
