Pliny Game Lab
Fifty browser games and simulations inspired by Pliny's Natural History. Explore ancient engineering, procedural ecosystems, and classical phenomena across ten themed pavilions.
I'm Jeremy Lichtman, a Systems Administrator at Verizon Wireless managing enterprise AWS infrastructure and mission-critical Pega platforms, and an active Computer Science student based in New Jersey.
I started working with computers at an early age and have been fascinated by how systems work under the hood ever since. That curiosity grew into a career: in 2014, I joined Verizon Wireless as a System Administrator.
Today, I manage cloud infrastructure across Amazon Web Services (AWS) supporting multiple mission-critical Pega-based enterprise platforms, ensuring high availability, bulletproof disaster recovery, and automated maintenance.
“True reliability isn't the absence of failures—it's building architectures where failures are contained, self-healing, and unnoticeable to end users.”
