Unsure of comma usage

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.


Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

What you've got there is wrong - you could go one of three ways:

  1. Most things I’ve built and am proud of are a result of this philosophy

  2. Most things I’ve built, and am proud of, are a result of this philosophy

  3. 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.

Solution 3:

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)
