Tanmay's response aligns well with the benchmark, demonstrating awareness of big data tools and cloud platforms. He acknowledges his lack of direct experience with Hadoop and Spark but compensates by highlighting his proactive learning and relevant cloud platform experience. This shows a willingness to grow and adapt, which is crucial for the role. However, to improve, Tanmay could provide specific examples of how he plans to apply his cloud knowledge to big data tools or mention any projects where he attempted to integrate these technologies.
