What is a technology consultant?



Someone who insults your tech stack. Oh no sorry that's a technology insultant.


:) I also find the word “free” in freelancer as odd and contractor is for someone fixing your home. All are simply labels.


It's in the name...they consult on technology.

If someone told me that was their title, I would assume that they were an IT (probably non-developer/engineer) generalist.

Sets up networks, configures hardware, handles purchase orders, etc. Whatever general "tech" things a company might need done that requires a knowledgeable person, but not a specialist.


The default connotations can vary a bit between countries, I noticed.


Another name for freelancer. I code and also have experience in managing IT teams. I decided to go solo and attempted to promote my experience via LinkedIn posts instead of GitHub code commits, for example.
