Tushar Sharma received the Distinguished Reviewer Award at TechDebt 2026. The conference was held April 12-13, 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, alongside the International Conference on Software Engineering.

The award recognizes a select group of reviewers for providing thoughtful, constructive feedback while maintaining high standards of rigor and scientific quality in evaluating submitted manuscripts.

TechDebt is an annual conference focusing on addressing technical debt in software systems. Technical debt refers to the implied cost of compromises made during software development, where expedient solutions are chosen over better long-term alternatives. Although such decisions may speed up delivery, they often increase the effort required to modify, extend, and maintain the software as it evolves.
