The Emacs startup code defines a few hook variables designed for such
situations: if these variables are non-nil, Emacs calls the functions
they list at certain strategic points of its startup procedure.
Search startup.el for "-hook" to see the whole story.

In this case, `after-init-hook' seems to be what you want: write a
short function that maximizes the frame, and set `after-init-hook' to
that function.  See the doc string of `after-init-hook' for more
details.
