A game I played on Uchess. Do you think I brought my king out too early? (I'm white)

Yes, 25.Kf3? is stepping into the firing lines of the enemy rooks. Can you see what he missed in response to this?

He could've done f5xe4 forking my rook and king and double checking, but I would've responded with Kf3xe4.
