Employed by Fidelity Printers and Refiners Pvt Ltd as a Technical Assistant from August 1993 to February 2010. Was instrumental in establishing dialogue between small scale miner's representatives and Fidelity Gold Refinery management. The result was breaking of the impasse between the organization and small-scale miners. Hence the company was able to purchase gold from them and eventually offered them loans for improving their operations. Used the Specific Gravity method in determining gold content from metal purchased from artisanal miners to enable spot cash payment. Played a pivotal role in refining bullion to meet international standards, this became the core business of Fidelity Gold Refinery. Amcast Pvt Ltd [ Employed as a Laboratory Technician /Assayer from January 2014 to December 2015.

Engage artisanal miners and educate them on rehabilitating the environment. Introduced a new leaching technique and the result was surpassing gold recoveries of all time, this improved the financial status of the company. I re-designed the laboratory set up to facilitate smooth flow of work from one station to the next, this improved efficiency and effectiveness. I introduced use of available resources to cut down on costs to bring viability in business. Aurex Holdings Pvt Ltd Employed as an Assayer Analyst from January 2016 to current. My immediate task upon joining Aurex, was to recommend proper disposal of chemical wastes in line with legislative laws.
