seems like someone who does that
A relative clause in "-는" describing an ongoing habit, plus 분 (the polite word for a person) and 같다 "seems". It is how you guess at someone's character or line of work from what you see: you seem like someone who lives each day to the full, he seems like someone who plays hard to get, you look like a wholesaler right now, someone who lives in America. 분 rather than 사람 is what makes it respectful. Compare ㄴ 분 같다, which describes a completed action or a fixed state instead of a habit.
