public function array_from_post($fields){
$data = array();
foreach ($fields as $field) {
$data[$field] = $this->input->post($field);
}
return $data;
}

Answer 1

You're trying to get values from wrong keys. I.e. you have first_name_sales and first_name_tech, but always read from first_name.
Try
$data_tech = $this->secure_m->array_from_post(array('first_name_tech','last_name_tech','email_tech','tech'));
// ...
$data_sales = $this->secure_m->array_from_post(array('first_name_sales','last_name_sales','email_sales','sales'));
// ...
Also you should set_value from corresponding objects instead of same $user. Pass like $user_tech and $user_sales to view. Smth like
$this->load->view('admin/_layout_main', ['user_tech' => $data_tech, 'user_sales' => $data_sales]);

$values = array(
'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name'),
'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
'user_type' => $this->input->post('user_type'),
);
$data = $this->model->inset('table_name', $values);
And also use this array to many tables
