Have you observed to which extent untold advances in information technology have totally reimagined air travel and hospitality as you used to know them in the recent years? The driving force behind this is Mr Nicholas Bredimus. He has done everything from the creation of software programs that automate resource and time intensive processes to improving airplane safety and even designs for high value homes.

You could have anticipated, though, that with his pedigree he was sure to reach prominence. Traceable back to the glory days of Rome and Nicholas’ ancestry connects to several different nations within Europe. Within the maternal branch, say, he descends from German and Scottish lines. Luxembourg and England were the home of Bredimus’ paternal line, though during the 1800s his family would emigrate. Even after emigration to the United States of America, the family upheld its uncompromising work ethic and determination to survive and thrive. Born one of seven children, Nicholas was blessed with a father working as a mechanical design engineer and a mother who worked as a nurse. He went on to live in Kansas City, Arizona, Texas and a place called Reston in Virginia. After completing his schooling, he would sign up for quite a few high powered posts with many of the most important companies in the airline industry. Nicholas Bredimus rose to the position of Vice President with corporations like Hughes Airwest, Trans World Airlines (TWA), and Republic Airlines respectively. Most notable, however, is his time as a creative programmer for the airlines. His groundbreaking work on airplane maintenance computer programs, now commonplace in the entire air travel business though initially coded for US Airways, resulted in what is still his most used achievement. Of course, this stands as just one of his significant creations for the hotel sector and for airlines. His flight reservation software is on its way to stand alongside the aforementioned program as a standard, while his hotel booking routine empowered many hotels to leverage a pc based technology. Afterwards he published QuikTix, an automated, networked system for ticket ordering that stands as a first.

While it is definitely his specialty, Nicholas has also regularly worked on non-software fields. In his own firm — Bredimus Systems — overseeing IT for American Express, and as the first president of AMR Travel Services his performance is impeccable. Is he still active? Very much so — his peerless abilities are ready to answer the call regardless his retirement. You can find his work now advancing building design — matching the needs of comfort with up-to-date technology and real concern for the ecology. Yet more proof, if any such proof were needed, of how much indefatigable desire can actually accomplish.
