Steve Wozniak

Stephen Gary "The Woz" Wozniak (born August 11, 1950) is one of the original co-founders of Apple Computer, with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne on April 1, 1976. He is officially designated employee #1 and served as VP of Engineering.

History
Wozniak and Jobs had previously worked together at Atari on the design of the video game Breakout, which led him to begin work on a system that would become the Apple I.

Wozniak designed the logic board and hand coded the original BASIC interpreter for the Apple I and Apple II computers. When Wozniak discovered that some of Apple's early garage employees did not receive any stock options in the company, he gave them US$10 million worth of his personal shares.

Media portrayals
Wozniak was portrayed by Joey Slotnick, Josh Gad, and Seth Rogen in dramatizations of his relationship with Jobs in the films Pirates of Silicon Valley, jOBS, and Steve Jobs, respectively.
