The sentence is
Most things I’ve built and am proud of, are a result of this philosophy
Do we insert a comma after "of"? I want the sentence to be coherent.

No comma is necessary: "Most things I’ve built and am proud of are a result of this philosophy."
The main subject and verb of that complete sentence are "things are". Splitting those two words into different clauses with a single comma would make the entire sentence incorrect.
What you've got there is wrong - you could go one of three ways:
Most things I’ve built and am proud of are a result of this philosophy
Most things I’ve built, and am proud of, are a result of this philosophy
Most things I’ve built - and am proud of - are a result of this philosophy
Can't give you a source for this, but just seems correct to me.

1We will need more of a citation than "seems correct to me" I think... :-) Commented May 7, 2019 at 14:37

The 2nd and 3rd make "am proud of" seem like a parenthetical comment, implying that you're always proud of the things you've built.– BarmarCommented May 13, 2019 at 18:17
No.
Be proud of is a verb itself. Just like when you don't need a comma in "Most things I’ve built are a result of this philosophy"
You also can use substitute verbs like: pride(v), congratulate(v), plume(v)
