Just like the title says. I am looking for a word or phrase for a someone who "throws money" at a situation, but for technology. They may not know what they are doing, the underlying tech behind it, or if its the right solution. Instead, much like someone who "throws money" at a solution, trying to get it to go away (which often does not work), this person will "throw tech" at a solution to try and make it go away.

A general term for this is a brute force solution. I don't know of a tech specific variant.
