We are doing similar work. And I would go on to say we are from similar schools and have similar past working experiences.

He asked for more. Simple as that. So you start working on your resume and on your next interview you set salary bar higher.

Is he a freelancer and you a permanent employee? In my market it's quite normal for dev jobs to be ±5k perm and ±10k freelance. same exact job and skills

When you have another chance to negotiate, don't forget about non-monetary forms of compensation. More vacation time, training budget, perks. Money isn't the only part, it's just one part of the whole picture.
