Narrative:
We were given the CNDEL3 RNAV departure out of oak. We had a wheels-up time and were advised that if we didn't make the time we would have to wait about 30 minutes on the ground before being released again. We made it to the runway right on time and were given instructions to takeoff behind a md-11 heavy. This caused us to takeoff with normal thrust as opposed to the planned reduced. After takeoff we started experiencing the effects of wake turbulence due to the heavy that took off prior to us. Trying to minimize the effect of the wake turbulence we missed a crossing restriction of at-or-below 2;000 ft over lejay; the first fix in the departure. ATC instructed us to climb unrestricted to 10;000 ft and at that same moment notified us of the crossing restriction we had missed. We proceeded with the rest of the flight with no further issues. Suggest not getting too caught up with making the wheel-up time and be aware of the threat of a low crossing restriction with the combination of taking off with normal thrust and wake turbulence from the proceeding heavy.

Title: Medium size regional jet First Officer reported overshooting a crossing restriction climbing out of OAK as they were dealing with a wake turbulence encounter from the preceding MD-11.
