About - Knight Digital Partners

We build the systems that run your business.

Most companies don't need more software—they need their existing tools to actually work together. They need workflows that make sense. They need systems that scale with them, not against them.

That's what we do.

Knight Digital Partners helps growing businesses design, build, and automate the operational backbone of their company. Whether that's a CRM that fits how your team actually sells, a financial model built for your specific business logic, or an AI agent that handles the work you don't have time for—we build it.

Who We Work With

We partner with established businesses ready to invest in their operations:

$1M+

Your team is big enough that manual processes and tribal knowledge are becoming bottlenecks.

Growth-Focused

You're not maintaining the status quo. You're building something bigger and need the infrastructure to support it.

If that sounds like you, we should talk.

How We Work

Right tool, right job.

We're not married to any single platform. Sometimes the answer is a quick Monday.com workflow. Sometimes it's a custom Rails application. Sometimes it's both. We figure out what actually solves the problem, then we build it.

Simple over clever.

We don't overengineer. We don't add complexity for the sake of it. If three lines of code solve the problem, we don't write thirty. The goal is systems your team will actually use.

Strategy and execution.

We're not just implementers. We think through the business problem first, then build. And we're not just strategists—we ship working software.

Long-term partners, not vendors.

We care about what happens after launch. Systems should get better over time, not become legacy debt.

Leadership

"If computers are bicycles for the mind, AI is an F1 car — but you still need to know how to drive."

Rick Apichairuk

Founder & Principal Consultant

I started Knight Digital Partners (and Monday-Expert.com) because I kept seeing the same problem: smart businesses stuck with messy tools, manual processes, and systems that don't talk to each other. I've spent 20+ years fixing that.

My background is a mix of Silicon Valley startups and big enterprise work. I've been a CTO, Managing Director, Software Architect, and Product Manager. Along the way, I've shipped projects for companies like Marriott International, Bank of America, eBay, Live Nation, Yara International, and Alteryx—across industries from hospitality to finance to energy. I also founded and grew a 70+ person software development agency serving enterprise clients.

Now, with Knight Digital Partners, I focus on what I enjoy most: helping growing businesses build the operational systems they actually need—CRMs, project management platforms, financial tools, and automation workflows. I work across Monday.com, Salesforce, Make.com, Retool, Ruby on Rails, and AI/LLM platforms. I pick the right tool for the job, whether that's low-code or custom development.

I work with clients globally. I like building things that actually get used, and I don't believe in overcomplicating what should be simple.
