Ask HN: How to summarize lots of short-term contracts in my resume?

I've been contracting for over 8-9 years now and while I had longer term contracts I also have lots of short-term (1-3 months) contracts. Last 2 years I almost exclusively had short term contracts which overlapped too.

Most of the jobs were similar (e.g. Python, Flask, scraping), however I had few jobs where I did other stuff (C#, embedded, windows desktop, etc).

If I write down summary of each job position in my resume, I think it would be too much (would take 2 pages to write it all down). How should I summarize all this, so it doesnt take much space and at the same time shows the variety of tech stacks I've used and came in touch with.

I was thinking to have a general resume which I would tailor to specific company needs, where I would remove/add job positions which are more relevant to what the company is looking for.
