The Challenge
Jesse Dahir-Kanehl at Kanehl Consulting LLC already had a code checking tool but needed to expand and stabilize its capabilities across multiple programming ecosystems. The challenge was not simply building a new application from scratch. It involved working within an existing developer tool, identifying missing functionality, implementing additional checks, improving the existing codebase, and preparing the project for better observability and deployment.
The Scope
Our team covered language support, existing functionality, observability, delivery, and distribution.
Multi-language checks
We extended checking capabilities across the ecosystems the tool needed to support.
- Python
- Node.js
- .NET
Existing functionality
We addressed gaps in the existing tool and expanded what it could validate.
- Fix missing checks
- Implement missing functionality
- Add additional checks
Engineering infrastructure
We improved how the tool is observed, built, and delivered.
- OpenTelemetry
- Azure CI/CD
Distribution
We prepared the codebase for package based distribution.
- npm package preparation
What We Worked On
Aizaz Studio focused on extending the existing code checking system rather than replacing it. Our engineering work spanned language specific checks, repository cleanup, observability, delivery infrastructure, and distribution preparation.
Python
We implemented and fixed existing checks and added additional checking functionality.
Node.js
We implemented and fixed existing checks and expanded the available checks.
.NET
We implemented and fixed existing checks and expanded the available checks.
Codebase cleanup
We cleaned up the project and root directory and improved the overall project structure.
Observability
We added OpenTelemetry instrumentation as part of improving visibility into the application.
CI/CD
We connected the project to Azure based CI/CD infrastructure.
npm distribution
We prepared the project for npm package distribution.
Engineering Approach
Our team followed a practical extension model. Inspect first, preserve what worked, and improve the tool incrementally.
How we approached the engagement
- Inspect the existing implementation and identify incomplete or missing checks.
- Preserve the existing architecture where practical instead of rewriting the tool unnecessarily.
- Extend language specific checks across Python, Node.js and .NET.
- Clean up the repository and development structure.
- Introduce OpenTelemetry for observability.
- Connect the project to Azure CI/CD.
- Prepare the codebase for npm package distribution.
Engineering Workflow

Engineering Workflow
- Developer Code
- ↓ Code Checking Tool
- ↓ Python · Node.js · .NET
- ↓ Results
- ↓ OpenTelemetry
- ↓ Azure CI/CD
- ↓ npm Package Preparation
Outcome
Our engineering work moved the existing code checking tool closer to a maintainable, observable and distributable developer product.
What changed
- Expanded code checking capabilities across Python, Node.js and .NET
- Addressed missing functionality in the existing tool
- Improved project organization
- Added OpenTelemetry instrumentation
- Established Azure CI/CD integration
- Prepared the project for npm package distribution
