Francisco "Cisco" Ramon, from The Flash TV Show.
Bob Howard from Charles Stross's Laundry Files series. Who else deals with elder gods while having to fix a printer or a file share?
Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State.
Gilfoyle is my spirit animal! 💓
Still Dennis Nedry. Accept no substitutes!
Cameron Howe & Donna Clark - Halt and Catch Fire.
Dilbert.

My top spot gets split four ways: Donna, Cameron, Joe, and Gordon from Halt and Catch Fire. Genuine, real-world techies failing spectacularly and breaking shit, and then picking themselves up and trying again. Doesn't hurt that I think this TV series is one of the best ever made, either.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Lisbeth Salander (from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). Utter, utter badass. I think the only reason I don't put her in the top spot is because her powers are depicted as a bit "magical"-- she's a hacker without much explanation (or backlash) for how she does her work.
