If he's a baby, he'll calm down with age. There's really not much you can do, other than handle him on a regular basis...and keep him fed. 
I have adults that still hiss when I take them out, but they don't strike. Babies can be a little nippy though...

Feed him in his own enclosure...
Then leave him alone to digest.
Problem solved

Ahhh I misread what you posted, I thought you fed him, then went to pick him up 30 minutes later lol.
Hissing is normal, I get hissed at all the time, I don't really see it as aggression, it's more for show...to show how "tough" they are  . I wouldn't worry about it

Could be a sign of stress, how long ago did you get him?
How much have you handled him since he came home?
Is he located in a high traffic area in your home?
Double check your husbandry with the care sheet.
