Not necessarily the wrong people, as the not experienced people.
I’ll be honest, just going over what you’ve said, I believe you will be the one with the most knowledge on this no matter where you go.
To me, your best bet will be to find a shop/person who will sit down, take the time, and map out a solution. A person that will be excited/intrigued by the whole process.
If you start piecing it all together, some work here, there, I think you’ll run into trouble.
