Startup founders and HR people tend to be very short on time and will most certainly not go through a wall of text just to figure out if you're good or not. Your resume should make people interested in your skills and curious how you got there. Once you have an interview you can still tell them all your additional information. Furthermore: there's a cool open source project called json-resume that separates your resume data from design: https://jsonresume.org/themes/ https://jsonresume.org/themes/

Use the same words the employer uses on their web site and in the job posting. Identify technologies you have in common with them (even if in passing), and mention those. It will help you get an interview, if nothing else.
