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.
