Summary
Howard Webb is a seasoned data and automation architect with nearly three decades of experience designing semantic metadata, database patterns, and enterprise data models for biotech and agronomy. As Chief Automation Architect at PARMV Enterprises he blends hands-on electronics and embedded programming (Arduino-controlled hydroponics) with enterprise-scale data thinking developed at Monsanto and The Climate Corporation. He has led metadata architecture for agronomic research, implemented ontologies (OBO), and advised on big data analytics integrations with partners like IBM Watson. Comfortable with agile and test-first practices, his practice is strongly influenced by Feature Driven Development and pragmatic semantic modeling. Based in Missouri, he brings a rare combination of lab-to-field data lineage expertise and practical automation engineering. He is particularly interested in applying geospatial and remote sensing concepts to business intelligence.
