 techie

Definition: Someone who knows a lot about technology and computers; a comput
er programmer or enthusiast. Pronounced 'tek-ee'.

Example: 1) My pal Aizaz is a techie at Distance Learning, Inc.

2) Our computer firm is looking for a few techies to finish a big programmin
g project.

Etymology: 'Tech' is a common short form of 'technology', and the '-ie' at t
he end signifies that the word applies to a person. This term emerged in the
 early 1980s, as computers became increasingly popular.
