StackOverflow is the answer you are looking for.
Example: "HAProxy"
Go to http://stackoverflow.com/tags/haproxy/info and on the right hand side, you will a section called top answerers. Each of these people have spend a good amount of time answering questions on the topic you are looking for and then have been up-voted by a community of peers as having reasonable answers, that work, and that help people solve their issues.
To "HAProxy" in particular, we find that "Willy Tarreau" is the top answerer. Doing a quick google search ("Willy Tarreau" HAProxy), we find on Willy's about page "My name is Willy Tarreau...Today, my work mostly consists in designing and auditing robust and scalable hosting infrastructures. This has led me to develop the HAProxy load balancer, which is used in several large infrastructures with high level of demand concerning availability, performance and security."
There is a good probability that if you wrote Willy an email saying, I'm happy to pay $300+ for an hour of your time that you'd get an answer, if not a potential introduction to someone who can help.
