I'm wondering if there's any point at which I could have gained an advantage in this endgame: Game 563569
It turned into a draw, but I imagine I made some less-than-ideal moves given my lack of endgame (and overall) aptitude. Was I right to offer the draw? Was my opponent right to accept it? Did I or he miss any opportunities? (After move 34 or so, I mean.)
Many thanks in advance!

You did well to recover from a lost position around moves 30 - 40.
Yo could have won at move 44 where you played Rd6, with 44.Nh6+. For instance: 44. ... Kh8 45.Rf8+ Kg7 46.Rf7+ QxR 47.NxQ KxN 48.Kxd5 with an easy win.
