The Concise Profile of Nicholas Bredimus — Inventor & Designer Extraordinaire
March 11th, 2010 by adminOriginating in New Jersey, Nicholas Bredimus united the worlds of software, airlines, and hospitality and revitalized all three areas of business. His career highlights include time-saving computer programs, air safety developments, and even the design of high value homes. Glancing at Nicholas Bredimus‘ family tree it’s easy to predict he was destined to achieve greatness. Drawing elements together from a true melting pot, his clan traces to the time of ancient Rome, with the maternal branch emerging from Germany and Scotland. Luxembourg and England are the source for his father’s family, though the family emigrated in the late nineteenth century.
That remarkable drive came to the fore following their arrival in the US. Nicholas, as well as his sisters and brothers, was born to a father who made his living as a mechanical design engineer and his wife, a nurse. He settled for a time in Arizona, Kansas City, Texas and a township by the name of Reston in Virginia. So what, you might ask, did Nicholas Bredimus do with his heritage and schooling? He would soon embark on a string of high powered roles, all as part of popular airlines. Among these was included the Vice Presidential post for Republic Airlines, Trans World Airlines (TWA), and even Hughes Airwest. An inventive software programmer, Nicholas’ creative work with airline software is most likely his trailblazing gift to the industry. He is probably most acclaimed for a US Airways project, designing airplane management computer programs, destined to become an “old reliable” for much of the industry. He went on to develop countless other computerized solutions for the hotel and airline industries as well, including unmanned systems to take and record airline reservations, now in use at over fifty firms, not to mention his innovative client based room reservation program in use in the hotel industry, first put into motion at over 700 hotels. Still innovating, he designed a networking program to assist in ticket ordering — once again establishing an innovation nobody else had thought of. He employed these successes to advance into roles not related to software design, and we should note that he continued to make a name. In his own company, overseeing IT for American Express, and as the inaugural president of a new American Airlines division his career speaks for itself. Having withdrawn from the fields that first gave him fame, his skills are nonetheless still very much in use. Look for his work now advancing building design — matching the demands of esthetics with bona fide environmental concern.
