I played against an exceptionally strong player, but around move 30ish, I kind of lost my thread, I'm trying to figure out how to convert my advantage. I would love some suggestions. Thanks.

Being as highly rated as you are, I would hope that this game would be analyzed by a GM, but my take was basically that I thought many of your issues started around move 19. Largely because your pawn center was thrown off balance and you had defensive complications. As for the endgame, well, that could have turned out better but I realize that with time pressure it's not always easy to play accurately. The only thing I would say is take caution of sharp and bold decisions with the pawn center. But like I said, this game should be analyzed by a grandmaster.
Pawn move 4.f3 N. What's the point?
Move 8.dxc5. You allowed him to become even more developed by taking c5. Hard to tell what an engine would say about that move but I think development is key at this early of a stage in the game. GG btw
f3 is the point of the verasov. dxc i didnt have a choice.
maybe move 38. Ne7 with the idea of Ng6
Seems like going forward with your king on move 32 was not best and you needed to sit at h1. That way you could really pressure his king and the rook using their awkward placement.
LOL
flgaing in a 90+30 time control!?!
Yes, one of my most brilliant moments
