Narrative:
Small transport X cleared out of north cargo to runway 36 by den ground control. Following yellow taxi line north to taxiway microphone and tango 2. Observed an large transport Y taxiing wbound from apron lima into cargo ramp. Taxied to my left to stay well clear of the Y. Observed a reflective vest ground person approximately 150 yds north of my location. With ample space between myself and the Y, I taxied north and to my right of the ground person, then onto and 2 and M txwys. I was not advised by ground control of any aircraft taxiing or to give way to any aircraft. Captain of Y stated I almost hit a ground person and he had to stop his aircraft to let me by. I did not see any ground person other than the one north of my location. To my knowledge, I did not almost hit anyone. There was ample room for me to taxi in front of the Y. He should not have had to stop.
