** Orion [[spoiler:a.k.a Chuck's father Stephen Bartowski]] is revered as a Techno God by pretty much every organisation in the show.
** Chuck himself is quite adept, being able to bypass FULCRUM-encryption in minutes, amongst other things. He uses these skills to great effect as a BadassNormal, in season five.
* ''Series/{{Nikita}}'': Birkhoff, [[GovernmentConspiracy Division's]] chief computer expert. Bonus points for designing his own computer network ([[AwesomeMcCoolname Shadownet]]) and making it look enough like a computer game that any of Division's recruits can easily learn how to use it.
* Cole on ''Series/{{Tracker}}'' could do just about anything with human computers, including MacGyvering complex technologies from household items.
* Several ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' characters qualify; usually if there's one person responsible for development and maintenance of the team's gear. This can be either the team's SmartGuy or a separate MissionControl character. The list of these people includes but is not limited to [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Billy]], [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Miss Fairweather]], [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Trip]], [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Cam]], [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Hayley]], [[Series/PowerRangersSPD Kat Manx]], [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Dr. K]], and [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Antonio]].
* Seamus Harper in ''Series/{{Andromeda}}''.
* Meg Austin in the first season of ''Series/{{JAG}}''.
* Christopher Pelant from ''Series/{{Bones}}'' takes this to ridiculous degrees. He can add/remove people from videos, infect computers by writing malware on bones, and basically do whatever he needs to to escape punishment/torment the heroes with computers.
* The duo of Fitz and Simmons (usually just referred to as Fitz-Simmons) fill this role in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''.

* [[http://www.bellard.org/ Fabrice Bellard]]. In 1997 he discovered a new, faster formula to calculate single digits of pi in binary representation. Won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest twice (including one entry being a self hosted C compiler). In 2004, he wrote the TinyCC Boot Loader, which can compile and boot a Linux kernel from source in less than 15 seconds. In 2005, he designed a system that could act as an Analog or DVB-T Digital TV transmitter by directly generating a VHF signal from a standard PC and VGA card. In 2011, he created a minimal PC emulator written in pure JavaScript. Broke the world record for calculations of pi using a desktop computer instead of a supercomputer. Has written both the QEMU emulator *and* FFmpeg (a widely used multimedia encoding, decoding and editing library).
