Narrative:

May have busted level off altitude due to wake turbulence from preceding airbus and/or moderate to severe turbulence on the climb out; just south of high terrain; wind gusts. Departed from vny to the north (runway 34); very turbulent on the climb out; frequency very busy; unable to communicate with ATC and I had a pressurization issue which needed to be corrected compounding the potential altitude bust; but was immediately cleared direct to gorman; 'climb and maintain 10;000 feet' so I sensed the controller knew the conditions as well.
