I met my business partner through in an e-commerce software forum, many years ago. We collaborated and traded work for a while before starting a company together.
That was a natural process over a few years. We ended up building and eventually selling our business for a decent amount of money.
So a few ideas:
Seek out forums that are more domain specific and see if there are any software engineers / technical people there (yes, I can attest personally, tech people can also be into law / legal practice)
there are communities where tech people and specifically CTOs hang (slack groups, email lists, etc) - network with technical people and see if someone can post there for you
go to in-person events and rub shoulders with tech leaders - lots of events like this on meetup
I would strongly advise playing the long game and not jumping into a potential long term relationship with a technical co-founder until you get to know then and ideal do some real work together
