After checking

This phrase is correct.

This is a participial phrase that may be used at the beginning of a sentence. This is a common construction:

"After going to the store, I came home."

"After helping my father, I helped my mother."

You could also use the construction at the end of a sentence, but you wouldn't use a comma to separate it from the rest of the sentence, i.e.:

"I went to the store after finding my wallet."

"I talked to my mother after talking to my father."
