A Rant Covering Mr Nicholas Bredimus
A major adjustment in airline travel and hospitality was sparked off by Mr Nicholas Bredimus, who brought them together with the computer software industry to create something new. He has worked on initiatives ranging from creating computer programs that automate resource and time intensive processes to improving airplane safety and designing high value houses. Whatever his focus settles on, you can bet he will address every bit of his energy to it.
It could be foreseen, though, that given his family tree he was always likely to rise to distinction. The clan can trace its antecedents all the way to the era of Rome and proudly boasts a wide mix of nationalities. The maternal family mingles Scottish and German stock. A similarly wide blend dominates his father’s branch; previous to emigrating near the end of the nineteenth century, Bredimus’ forerunners made their homes in England and Luxembourg.
Naturally, after their arrival in America, the family kept its immaculate work ethic and determination to go far. Nicholas, as well as his four sisters and two brothers, was a child of a father employed as a mechanical design engineer and his wife, a nurse. He would come to live in Arizona, Texas, Kansas City and Virginia. He’s worked in prominent roles for companies across the airline sector — the majority of them very popular names. He became a VP with airlines like Hughes Airwest, Republic Airlines, and Trans World Airlines (TWA) respectively. But above all the airlines have felt the need to be thankful for his work in software and system architecture. His insight into aircraft maintenance software, now commonplace throughout the air travel business though first designed for US Airways, led to what is still his most popular creation. But this was only one of his major products for airlines. The reservation programs he invented are on their way to becoming as commonly used as the aforementioned software, while his hotel booking routine enabled a great number of hotels to integrate the very first client based architecture. He went on to produce QuikTix, an automated ticket sales network. Albeit it was eminently his specialty, Nicholas Bredimus also often worked in non-software areas. He was division manager for American Express’ renowned IT department, initiated Bredimus Systems seventeen years ago, and became the founding president of a major American Airlines division.
So is he still active? Decidedly so — his unmatched abilities are still very much called upon and at the ready no matter his retirement. His interest now is with the architectural questions behind the evolution of hitech luxurious homes.
