A Life in Invention – Nicholas Bredimus
Hailing from New Jersey, Mr Nicholas Bredimus mingled the spheres of airlines, hospitality, and software and energized all three areas of business. This renaissance man has found work in a number of fields, from the luxury home market through the essentials of safety in the air and computer programs to help with time management. And, in each case, his drive is evident.
Glancing at Nicholas Bredimus‘ roots it’s easy to predict he was bound to reach greatness. Bringing elements together from a true melting pot, his clan can be traced to classical times, with his mother’s side rooted in Scotland and Germany. His father’s family, on the other hand, originates in England and Luxembourg, from where they ultimately emigrated toward the end of the 19th century. And following emigration to the United States of America, the family upheld its drive and determination to make their way in the world. Nicholas, as well as his six siblings, was born to a father employed as a mechanical design engineer and his wife, a practicing nurse. His dwellings over the course of many years ranged across a number of states. Nicholas has worked in high powered posts for firms throughout the air travel industry – many of them eminently popular names. These included the position of Vice President for Republic Airlines, Trans World Airlines (TWA), and, of course, Hughes Airwest. An inspired software programmer, his innovations in airline software are probably his trailblazing legacy. He is most famous for one project for US Airways, his airplane maintenance computer programs which are now used by most air travel companies. He went on to develop several other pieces of software for the airline and hotel industry in addition, including automatic software to deal with airline reservations, employed now at more than 50 businesses, as well as his innovative desktop computer based room booking system for the hotel industry, first activated at over 700 locations. Expanding into a third area, he published a networked system to automate ticket sales – once again presenting the world with a unique innovation no one else had managed to achieve.
Bredimus parlayed these successes into posts less connected to software design. Mr Nicholas Bredimus worked as manager for American Express’ renowned IT wing, started up Bredimus Systems in the early nineties, and became the founding president of American Airlines’ AMR Travel Services. At the time of writing, though, Mr Nicholas Bredimus has withdrawn from Northwest Airlines and from coding, although he’s still making use of his skills. At present, he designs and builds top quality homes featuring many of the most advanced technology on the planet.
