Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

That person is definitely an asshole and seems to have some beef with you for some reason. That said for optics reasons you probably could have handled that better, not for his sake of course but in such professional settings people are really into "muh decorum" and shit like that.
What you should do is catch him slipping and put a magnifying glass on his own deficiencies and mistakes to other people on the project. Just be warned that might backfire too not sure how the dynamics in your team work, he might have more political leverage than you so it could be you're fucked no matter what you do, unfortunately that's just how these things work sometimes, but chances are if he's an asshole to you he's probably an asshole to other people as well.
