I’m Christopher Zachar, an aerospace and software engineer and technology enthusiast for over 25 years. This is my personal website where I share my projects, thoughts, and experiences in the world of technology.

I started my engineering career with NASA at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and served with NASA and the U.S. Air Force for 10 years. I was presented with the prestigious NASA Space Flight Awareness Honoree award for contributions to the Space Shuttle and human spaceflight programs.

After my time at NASA, I transitioned to defense contracting for our military, government agencies and defense industry partners. I have contributed to a wide range of projects, from developing software for unmanned aerial vehicles and missile guidance to systems for space exploration.

I’m currently working on a commercial business project, Scheduler Systems. The website is not expected to go live until September, 2026.

The NASA Space Flight Awareness Honoree Award is one of NASA’s highest honors.

I have a DJI AVATA and DJI FPV. Piloting with the FPV goggles for both drones is amazing. You actually get the sensation of really flying.

I’ve been doing a lot of driving lately, particularly from the San Bernadino Mountains down to Palm Desert and La Quinta. It’s a great drive.

I made this video a couple of years ago to include with my resume and Pentagon bio. The video helped a lot to land me a few contracts.
