Life & Temperatures on Titan

I think the only way for a human to be immune to cyanide would be to alter the mitochondria to not have or need a particular enzyme. It seems to be in nearly every living thing, even bacteria. But TL 10 could be able to cobble together a substitute.
Resistance though is a much easier thing to develop. Species of millipede produce cyanide as a defense and have a heightened tolerance to it.
