tech guru
Silicon Valley oracle
A tech guru is someone with deep expertise in technology, often consulted for advice or guidance on digital matters.
The term carries a whiff of irony—guru suggests spiritual wisdom, but here it means the person you call when your computer crashes or you need app recommendations.
He's the family's tech guru.
