Etymology
Techie comes from tech, short for 'technology' or 'technical', which goes back to an old Greek word techne meaning 'craft' or 'skill', and the friendly ending -ie (like in selfie or doggie) makes it a personal, informal name. So a techie is someone who has skill with technology and really likes working with it.
