I dabble in software (many personal projects, a few websites, a lot of scientific computing) but I've been a mechanical engineer for the last 15 years.

If your building a physical product I can probably be helpful immediately.

As far as software goes, I've worked with python and done web development with html, css, javascript, a little Angular, and django for the back end.

Otherwise, between me and my son, we can figure it out. Just might not be fast.

If no response, I think I'll take you up on Opt 1.
