Yes, I'd say I'm an professional level coder, so that side would not be an issue. I also build custom PCs from scratch and am familiar/have access and experience with tools for soldering and wiring (I also have a quite a bit of free time to put into learning it quickly).
Truthfully, I'm not sure how many LED channels would be required, I have a set of studio lights in my place that have an array of ~ 50 I believe, and they are quite bright, so I'd assume somewhere around there to be safe... I'm from Toronto, Ontario!
