I'm currently running a Savage Technologist for an Iron Gods AP, I primarily focus on combat using technological firearms and light weapons in the offhand.
I want to try to stay within that mindset as I continue leveling, but I feel incredibly feat starved.
Can you guys help me or give advice on where to take the character as I level?

The GM allowed me to use an unchained barbarian as the basis for Savage Technologist, which makes the Android able to benefit from rage.
Can anyone help with this, at all? I'll need to be updating the character by tomorrow.

It looks fine. With those stats (which I assume is pre-rage and rolled for, or an array) you should have almost no problems in a fight.
Some points to take note off -
1) As you may be picking up a wide variety of different range weapons in the Iron Gods AP, you may want to avoid weapon focus feats, unless you have access to other feats that expend the bonus from weapon focus to other similar weapons. Aka, avoid specializing too much on any single weapon.
2) Are you given a fix amount of gold or items to have at hand? As I notice you don't have any buff items like Belt of Incredible Dexterity or similar items. You may want to have some items to enhance your stats or abilities.
3) You may want to consider going into another class past lv 5 in Savage Technologist, like fighter, ranger or slayer if you are concern about a lack of feats.
3a) Or even classes like warpriest, magus or alchemist. If you want to try something different and add an extra layer of curiosity to your character.
Your character looks fine. Unless there is an extra factor that you did not mention, like a bloodthirsty GM, you should be fine.

1. That's easy enough, I've avoided weapon focus for this reason. I do have access to NPCs and cohorts with craft tech and magic weapons/armor, so even if I do decide to take weapon focus paths, it shouldnt be too much of a problem, depending on weapon choice.
2. I currently have 6400g on hand, with another 2500 in party treasure. The rest of the party has similar amounts at hand, but they're spending their own money on nice things for themselves. I'm currently thinking of spending my gold on a nice weapon, as crafting is available, a tech pistol is the first thing that comes to mind. (They usually have semi-auto, which mimics rapid shot).
3. I'm hoping to get some advice on what to multiclass, I'm unsure as to what would be best for this sort of build. I definitely feel feat starved, so Fighter is looking pretty good at the moment.
3a. What would you reccomend, to add a bit of flair to the proceedings?

Before we jump into build, it would be best if we understand your Character first.
What is his backstory? How did an android became a Savage Technologist?
Where is he from? Are there things he is scared of? Or things he like? Etc.
Only with an understanding of your character can you decide on what combination of classes, feats and traits, best fit your character ideal.

Seven is an Android of undiscernable gender (Based its appearance off of a more androgynous Annie Lennox, see the sweet dreams music video), found by a LN Wizard in a wrecked ship.
Seven was raised to worship Brigh, and spent most of its "life" helping out the wizard, and learning customs.Seven's rage was reflavored as "overclocking", and Seven is fascinated by technology. Seven seeks to understand how it came to be, and what it means to be a combination of flesh and technology. Seven's faith in Brigh is the culmination of that, and Seven has gone so far as to convert other Androids to worship Brigh, hailing Brigh is the mother of all Androids.
Seven does not know where it came from.
Seven fears what may occur if it is "deactivated".
Seven loves technology, and will scour areas for any little scrap of tech that may be useful or interesting. (Seven found a working toilet, and has since used it as its primary water source, believing it to be a wondrous magic tech water basin.)
Seven is very similar to Commander Data from TNG, it wants to understand what its place is, and how to be more like those around it.
As far as classes, Seven came to be a Savage Technologist strictly out of necessity, growing up in Numeria meant that Seven had to adopt the attitudes of the tribals around it, and Seven's love of tech only further cemented that.

*I need to sleep right after this post, but hopefully this can help a little.
Numeria isn't all tribes. There are numerous settlements, from Technic League outposts, to Kellid tribes, to simple mining towns or even towns that hate the Technic League and worship Erastil.
You already explained why Seven can rage and she is basically using a homebrewed class. So there is no real need to "explain" further why she is a Savage Technologist.
She is simply an android with the ability to overclock her metabolism and love to use guns.
Now given that she is a devoid worshiper of Brigh, that could lead to interesting ideals for Seven.
You can ...
1) Go with a light touch and just use appropriate background traits to reflect Seven's devotion to Brigh. Role playing her as such.
So keep pure Savage Technologist and just use traits and RP Seven.
*Remember a "priest" is not always a divine class.
-
2) A dip in divine caster approach. Go mainly Savage Technologist, but take 1 level dip in Cleric, Oracle or Warpriest to give Seven a touch of the divine, without taking away too much from the base.
This would allow you to mainly be a Savage Technologist, but able to make use of divine items like wands of Cure light wounds.
-
3) Go with a more indepth approach and make Seven's devotion part of her class make up.
You could a) Keep 5 levels of ST (Savage Technologist) and go the rest with warpriest. Or b) Go with just a level or two of ST and the rest in Warpriest.
I'm just recommending warpriest as it has powers that fit the divine-warrior type character. Other classes like cleric or oracle are also options.
Note that Warpriest (WP) is one of those classes where you would preferably want to keep as many levels in, as their class features and spells get much better as you level. It is not really a good class to dip into, unlike cleric or oracles.
EDIT: That said, you will want levels in ST. As you would want sufficient number of rounds of rage and at the very least that lv 2 Sword and Gun (Ex) archetype feature. The lv 5, DEX to range damage is also very attractive.
In short, if you want to mix the two (ST and WP), you will need to decide which class to focus on, both are good, but make sure you don't spread yourself TOO THIN.
Aka, spreading even levels of ST and WP, may actually be counter productive. It's like not having a Head or a Tail, becoming effectively mediocre.
If "I" have to pick a choice for Seven, I would either go either 1) More ST with a lv dip into Cleric for domains OR 2) Go More WP with 2 levels of ST for Sword and Gun.
In the end the choice is yours.

In conclusion, I think you really don't need to fuss too much on what Classes Seven is make up of. I think Seven is a solid character concept and even if she is a straight up fighter, she would be a great character as long as you are able to role play her well.
Hope all these helps! And good luck in your adventure.
I really need to sleep. Got a game to GM in 7 hours... :P
PS:Seven kinds of reminds me of a character ideal, I'm working on. In my case, its a "Nun with a Gun". A Divine caster, using a gun. I'm planning to take a level of Gunslinger and the rest of Warpriest.
I already have 6 levels in Savage Technologist, so I'm not able to dedicate a huge amount of levels to Warpriest.
