Dwayne M. Cyrus

AI Design Engineer · Basel, Switzerland

Building systems that think, interfaces that feel, and tools that free.

Introduction

I design and engineer human-centered systems where code, intelligence, and discipline converge into clarity. My work lives at the intersection of frontend architecture, design systems, and applied AI — crafting interfaces that feel human yet operate with machine precision.

Current Focus

AI Design Engineer Portfolio — Astro + React + local AI systems
Thunder Recall — local-first AI memory engine for Markdown/YAML
Voyager OS — sovereign life-planning and productivity environment
Scriptorium — writer’s studio combining iA Writer, Bear, and Obsidian

Philosophy

Design as discipline. Engineering as order. AI as clarity.

Technology should refine, not replace, human awareness. I build systems that amplify intent and preserve sovereignty — tools that think with you, not for you.
