The above will probably give the wrong answer (off by your timezone
offset).  The reference point should be zero hour GMT, but the first
cast will give zero hour local time.  You should cast the reference
to timestamp with time zone (timestamptz) instead.

Also, I'd suggest using float-times-interval as a simpler and more
efficient way of forming the offset interval.  So:

select 'epoch'::timestamp with time zone + your_ticks * '1 second'::interval;
