I am on post-comp. OPT and doing some consulting as a contractor. Do I have to pay self-empl. tax? Am I a nonresident alien if I am in the US for less than 183 days?

I am doing the work mostly remotely, so am not physically present much in the US. Does this mean I am exempt from the self-employment tax? And do I have to file estimated taxes every quarter for income taxes?
