Hey, I'm 1-kyu, too. So just a few ideas and how I see the game =)

This stone does cut White and is important but your group on the left is more important right now and White has to defend this cut in the end. Thus you would get Sente.] ;W[dk]WL[1245.914]C[SoDesuNe: Hane at the head of two stones.

I would play the one-point-jump, threatening to surround his center stones. Notice how White is all connected and save at the bottom, with quite nice territory, too.

Territorily I'd play R17 or F17. Or was your plan to cover your four-point-extension on the right? Since it's on the fourth line, White might get a good Sabaki or even Shinogi there anyway.
I think it is much more important to follow up your attack on White's center group. Maybe around F10? Though, your own group there isn't all stable, too. I really think a jump to H8 would have made a huge difference now. Attacking with H9 feels like you are putting a lot of stones at one place without much benefit.] ;W[kc]WL[1084.982]LB[kc:A][qc:B]C[SoDesuNe: A and B Miai for White? I had tenuki'd as White ^^] ;B[cf]BL[951.146]C[SoDesuNe: Don't play near (your own) thickness. Territorily I'd play E18 or something around that point.

He offers you hane at the head of stones! Hane at the head of two stones! It will help your center and makes N15 more meaningful.

You - again - omit an important pushing battle! Does White live already? Isn't the center bigger then the corner?
