I am submitting a game that I played in an online tournament for my club. I was paired with a blitz player who had a Chess.com rating of 2700 and managed to hold the defence, despite blundering a piece. Unfortunately, I did not realise that I could have captured his rook using a tactic. How can I defend myself better in such situations and gain the initiative? The game:

I've analyzed this like crazy, and I still don't understand how to deal with pawn storms like this. The computer doesn't really help with a guiding principle. I'm white. https://lichess.org/study/3JFhBlTQ/KPukwlU8

Thanks for the video on my game, I didn't even think my opponent was maybe scared based on how they were playing.
