Participle or gerund

If "having(1)" is participle, I wonder if "having(2) is participle or gerund.
1. He has a wide range of experience, having worked in technical, production, and marketing positions.
2. My opinion was based on my experience, having worked with both MLVA printers and laser printers.

Having worked is a perfect participle. The first sentence is grammatical: He has a wide range of experience because he has worked... The second sentence sounds awfult to my ear which is accustomed to seeing and hearing participles used accurately in other languages: My opinion was based on my experience because my opinion had worked...
