Rechard Serenio (Chad)

Rechard Serenio, known as Chad, is a Mechanical Engineer and Estimator at Purple Engineering, the company behind Purple Valves. He is a registered mechanical engineer with 15 years of experience and prepares estimates across Purple's range, including industrial valves and flow control equipment.

Before joining Purple, Chad worked as an Application Engineer, a Design and Estimate Engineer and a Technical and Product Manager, supporting a wide range of products and global business clients. His specialist background is in the design and estimating of HVAC and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, together with product management and facilities management.

Estimating valves properly means working through valve type, size, pressure class, end connections, body and trim materials, the design standard and any actuation, whether that is a single replacement valve or a full project package. Chad's design and estimating background suits that level of detail, so customers receive quotes that are accurate and properly specified.

Chad studied Mechanical Engineering at the Technological University of the Philippines on a DOST-SEI scholarship, graduating in 2009, and passed the Mechanical Engineering Licensure Examination the same year. He joined Purple Engineering in 2023.
