Hi. I am Arif. I am an experienced software engineer. I think I can help you with this project. I believe the blockchain technologies have a bright future and I actually own some Ether. But, to be honest, I have no programming experience on Ethereum. I only have some general knowledge in programming smart contracts but I don't think you will find many guys who do.
One question, you are referring to chain where the hard fork didn't occur when you say side chain, right? Also please correct my if I am wrong, but I think these two chains are almost the same and once you create a coin, it will work on both.
