In 2011, two years after earning his MFA [5] at the American Film Institute Conservatory, Lazar was invited by cinematography discipline chair Stephen Lighthill, ASC to join its faculty [23]. In the following 7 years, Lazar taught The Art & Craft of Cinematography course [24], covering all technical aspects of cinematographic techniques. He developed and taught The Language of Cinematography course [25], a course bringing both cinematographers and directors together which is still offered today.

Lazar is a self-taught programmer and technology entrepreneur. The first programming language he learned was C++, and his first employment in the technology sector was for internet service provider Shani Technologies [38], one out the five ISPs operating in Israel in the 1990s. He was the youngest member of NetKing [39], one of the largest Israeli websites of the period [40]. In 1995, following prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination, NetKing launched [41] an online memorial page which allowed people from around the world to light a digital candle [42] in Rabin's memory, a function Lazar implemented. Following his service at the IDF, Lazar joined Israeli IT firm Ness Technologies as a web developer. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Lazar combined his activities in filmmaking, education and technology by launching Quonder [43], an education technology startup utilizing the benefits of visual storytelling [44].
