I am a consultant and yet distinct from a contractor or a freelancer. I am not a freelancer because I work for a larger company. I am not a contractor because, while that is a good chunk of what I do, I provide more than just software development. Oftentimes, I end up working with clients to actually determine what they need and how to build it. Then I help build it. Contractors typically just build it.
