David Koenitzer is a product manager with six years of experience bridging hands-on engineering and user-focused product work, currently based in Washington, D.C. A mechanical engineering graduate from Ohio State, he transitioned from powertrain and continuous improvement roles at Harley‑Davidson into software engineering and product leadership at Astronomer before moving to Keebo. He brings practical systems thinking from hardware to cloud data platforms, having contributed backend improvements and documentation to the prominent Apache Airflow project—most notably enhancing Snowflake connectivity and connection docs across many providers. Comfortable shipping both code and product decisions, David combines rigorous attention to detail with a talent for simplifying complex configuration and developer-facing UX. Notably, his background designing electric motorcycles and working in rotational engineering roles gives him an uncommon perspective on cross-disciplinary product development.
