Top left, low approach a 3-4 is fine, g17 response is slack, though given white at top right the more normal bot move now at f16 would leave white a good point at h17 so maybe it's not so bad here.
Top right, approach, knight, kick all moves you can see in bot games, so assuming black was playing decent moves with his tenukis (which he may not) this is a fair result (in that each player is getting a reasonable value from the number of stones invested)
Lower left black e5 sticks out as an odd-looking move. It does stop white attaching there to make shape, but presumably there was a more efficient way to split those white groups; did it happen like this? 2 is soft, and kick 4 for 5 seems dodgy too. So I think white did better with these moves.

There was actually a game I played where LZ recommended a similar iron pillar to the centre, something like below, but there it makes more sense in defending against k17 whilst also denying black attachment there to make shape (can't recall if it there was also the g14 weakness, that's another aim in this similar shape from joseki:

The connect/block at c8 is a hot area though actually as white I don't mind so much letting black get it because with b4 and e5 present white is not doing much with c5 and c7 to black's strong shape so it's only abut a dozen points of yose, more important is the eyespace it would give to c10. Also if black does c8 it gives me a nice excuse to play f7, asking black to spend another move at d7 to become inefficient whilst white makes some shape for the lower side weak group.
Lower white group k6 is an obvious bulge point to strengthen, but also white can let black take it and still run away. Is a black cap at j9 scary? Somewhat but that group seems to have options.
Lower side black has some territory and thickness. Would n3 be better at o3? o7 net is very honte and is the kind of move I used to happily play, but I wonder is it a bit slack here? o5 group is safe enough if white ran out the stone, but q7 group is not give white has r11 and r6 captured 2 stones. Would o8 be a better net, or even some kind of leaning thing like q10? I don't necessarily want to make r11 stronger though. Is black p2 sente? If not and white might get o2 and/or k2 yose, p8 peep then I'm leaning towards black being inefficient here.
White lower right corner looks alright. Black got a nice atari kikashi at p5 but white has good solid profit and r8 is in the wrong place (if we can move it given the net then better at s7 for gote sente difference.
Right side also seems fairly hot, if black runs r15 it's locally a weak group but once he weathers th local disadvantage and gets out he could end up using the thickness below to surround and attack r11. I'm wondering if black can make o15 attachment to get some sente exchanges and then p11, or maybe just s16 and cheap atari and q12 shoulder hit.
How's c10 doing? Particularly if we allow black c8? If white can exchange f16 f17 c17 c18 d16 e17, the classic kikashi against g17 low shape then I'm even happy to tenuki black c8 and deal with black c12 later now the c15 stone got stronger in sente. Maybe black won't f17 though but resist at c16 or d15.
So where do I want to play as white? Main areas are:
- f17, try to get some helping sente exchanges so I can tenuki right side later and worry less
- c8, connect a few stones.
- k6 bulge to strengthen weak group
- p11 to start gobbling r15 on large scale (q15 feels too honte given o16 there) and prevent black running it out with counterattack potential.
So overall I think white does feel a bit more dynamic and efficient so is probably ahead. But I didn't actually count any points so maybe White is dynamically handling his weak groups that aren't making points.
