A (very?) standard Titan build from a new player. Looking for input especially on the ICE and agenda spread.

I've played around with a space ice heavy Trick of Light build in early iterations but all the advancement jank turned out to be too cumbersome after all. Turns out going with a bunch of somewhat boring choices instead of that makes for a very versatile, smoothly working deck.

Firmware Updates makes a disgusting amount of money through Mr. Yale, and if you don't have him rezzed, the burst can catch runners off guard when going for a flatline later.

I've been getting great mileage out of the two Cyberdex, it's more than just a Clot counter for sure.

Caduceus has been underwhelming but I still prefer it over Shadow, I haven't looked into many alternatives other than that. I would love to import Data Raven but I'm not sure if it's more valuable than the Snares.

I don't think you have enough synergy in here for Data Raven to make sense, and you've got a little more than 1 Snare per 4 agendas, which out of Weyland is no goddamn joke. R&D lock is the second best counter to rush decks (after denial) so I think Snare is a wonderful choice.

Caduceus is a sentry in the 0-3 strength range (Mimic fodder) and Power Tap Sunny is going to love it more than Viper, but it's also a 3-card tax for Faust which is great. I don't think it's a 3-of in this deck, but 1-2 seems fine.

Maybe an Orion would be good? Assassin is also really nice.

Wow 3 times High-Risk Investment, you're not messing around. It's no doubt powerful out of Titan, but it is, well, High-Risk.

Having played this basic list archetype a loooooooooot (and honesty basically having pioneered it), the #1 recommendation I would make is to probably swap the 2 Firmware Updates for an Oaktown. Consider that the best case scenario with Mark Yale and Firmware is that it earns you 12 credits with Yale. Now consider the fact that Oaktown will earn you 8 credits by itself, and still have a counter you can sell to Yale if you get him for a total of 11. That's only 1 credit less, and you get the benefit of not having to rely on Mark Yale for most of those credits, getting some of those credits even if you don't score, being able to score it even if you dip down to 1 credit, and a lower agenda density. You can then also cut a Yale, since you're relying on him less. Now you have 2 more deck slots! In fact, I love Oaktown so much the list I use cuts a High-Risk for 2 more.

Your ICE is pretty good. Weyland doesn't have a ton of killer options, but all of your selections are solid. I think you'll do fine without Data Ravens. I have a Grim and a Changeling in my list, and both do good work in specific match ups, but my list is somewhat rushier and different stuff works for different people.
