Morphology
The meaning 'a person highly knowledgeable in technology' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tech' (technology) with 'guru' (a respected specialist/expert). Both constituents retain their usual senses and the compound follows a common noun + noun pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Tech guru joins tech (short for technology) and guru (an old Indian word for a wise 'teacher'). Because a 'guru' is someone who guides or teaches others, tech guru came to mean a person who guides people in technology, a 'technology expert'.
