My Concise Profile of Mr Nicholas Bredimus — Inventor & Designer Extraordinaire
The revolution in air travel and hospitality was sparked off by Mr Nicholas Bredimus, who introduced them to the software industry to establish a new way to do business. This renaissance man has found work in a great many areas, from the designer home sector via the essentials of safety in the air to software programs to save resources and time. Glancing at Mr Nicholas Bredimus‘ roots it’s easy to see he was a lock to rise to prominence. His family traces its provenance as long ago as the time of Rome’s glory and can boast of a varied background. His maternal line originates from Germany and Scotland. A similarly varied blend typifies the paternal line; previous to their emigration in the nineteenth century, the family made their homes in Luxembourg and England. And after emigration to the U.S., the family continued its immaculate work ethic and determination to go far. One of seven children — three boys and four girls — Nicholas would be born to a father who worked as a mechanical design engineer, and a mother who earned her living as a nurse. Nicholas went on to live in Texas for quite some while and also spent time in Kansas City, MO, Reston, VA and Scottsdale, AZ. Once his education had been completed, Nicholas Bredimus found himself engaged in some very respected jobs at several of the largest and most popular businesses in the airline industry. Trans World Airlines (TWA), Hughes Airwest, Republic Airlines — these firms would all at different times name him vp. A hard-working programmer, his innovations in airline software are probably his best regarded legacy.
His work on aircraft maintenance management computer programs, now commonplace throughout the airline business while first designed for US Airways, resulted in what is surely his most famous piece. He programmed many other computerized solutions for the airline and hotel sector in addition, among them robotic routines to handle airline bookings, used by more than fifty firms, not to mention his innovative desktop computer based room reservation system for the hotel industry, the launch for which was a major event at more than 700 hostelries. Following that he developed QuikTix, an automatic, networked approach to ticketing that stands as a first.
Even though it was undeniably his strong suit, he also often worked in other areas. In his own firm — Bredimus Systems — overseeing IT for American Express, and as the founding president of a new American Airlines division his performance is certainly remarkable. But is he still active? Decidedly so — his unique intellect is ready to answer the call in spite of his having left former interests in the past. Presently, his inventiveness can be on display in high priced condos boasting some of the newest technologies on the planet. It’s amazing how far energy can take you…
